A Cincinnati police officer at the center of a Taser scandal is no longer employed with the city.
Officials said Officer Anthony Plummer, 32, was fired from the police force earlier this month.
Plummer was accused of using excessive force during a traffic stop involving a city councilman's daughter.
Police said Chief Thomas Streicher made the recommendation to the city and that it was upheld.
Managers said Plummer had 10 days to appeal the ruling and has done so.
The case will go before a civil service review board and the board will make the final decision whether the termination was warranted.
Police said that for the moment, Plummer is no longer with the police force. No time line was provided for when the board would make its decision.
