Amthor extends open invitation

Posted

Newburgh Chief-of-Police Arnold “Butch” Amthor would like to extend an invitation to anyone related to anyone who has been shot and killed by a member of the Newburgh police department. In the past forty years, there has been three police-involved shootings that have resulted in a death. There may be families who have unanswered questions about these events, and in an effort towards openness and transparency it may be time to have a dialogue.

Amthor said there is a false narrative being spread that portrays an untrue impression regarding police-involved shootings in Newburgh.

The police-involved shooting that occurred this year cannot be discussed, because it is a pending case.

Anyone wishing to contact the chief regarding police-involved shootings may do so at 561-3131.
