LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) Lawrence police chief Tarik Khatib says one police officer involved in a ticket-fixing scandal is no longer working for the department.
Khatib says Friday that a second officer is still on suspension after an investigation found that at least six traffic tickets were fixed in exchange for Kansas basketball tickets.
The city has said officers fixed speeding tickets for a former university employee who is now in federal prison for his role in a broader ticket scandal at the university.
Khatib said the investigation found one officer had a long-term friendship with the athletics employee. He says at least six tickets were fixed during a nine-year period.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports the city has refused to identify the officers or the athletics department employee.
