A small-town police chief has been placed on administrative leave just days after she visited Cincinnati Public Schools, claiming to conduct "wellness checks" for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The Village of Gratis, a small community south of Dayton in Preble County, held an executive session Sunday to discuss Chief Tonina Lamanna. After the meeting, village officials announced that Lamanna was placed on leave."The Village of Gratis does not condone these actions," the announcement said. "It is not the practice of policy of the Village to participate in law enforcement operations outside of our jurisdiction, particularly those occurring two counties away."CPS released surveillance photos showing Lamanna inside Western Hills University High School on Wednesday, accompanied by another officer. The officers, according to CPS, requested to conduct wellness checks on certain students without presenting warrants or any official paperwork. Lamanna and the officers also visited Rees E. Price Elementary and Roberts Academy.CPS Superintendent Shauna Murphy said it was "pretty alarming" to the district.RELATED | 'Why was she in Cincinnati?' | Gratis community demands answers after police chief visits CPS schools"They identified their need as being there for a wellness check," Murphy said.
