Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine’s office has agreed to investigate the May 26 traffic stop involving Mahoning County Auditor Michael Sciortino.

Jill Del Greco, a spokeswoman for DeWine’s office, said the file has been referred to the AG’s special prosecutions unit. There’s no set time frame for a decision.

An investigator “will look into the incident and decide if any additional charges will be filed,” she said.
