MUSCATINE, Iowa
One of the Muscatine Police Department’s school resource officers was arrested over the weekend in Rock Island, Ill.
Whitni Wethington, 23, was booked into Rock Island County Jail at 3:41 a.m. Saturday on an obstruction of justice charge, which is a misdemeanor charge, according to a jail spokesman.
No other information was available from Rock Island authorities at press time this morning.
Police Chief Gary Coderoni said Wethington informed him of the arrest, and remains on duty.
Coderoni said Monday he was still learning the facts of the incident and would conduct an internal professional standards investigation to determine if any city or department codes had been violated. Wethington joined the Muscatine Police Department in April, and started the school year as a school resource officer at Muscatine High School.
She is the second Muscatine police officer to be arrested this month.
On Nov. 8, Sgt. Arthur Anderson, 40, was arrested outside the Public Safety Building and charged with operating while intoxicated. Anderson was terminated from his position Friday following a review of his personnel file, according to city officials.
