Police Department corrects race assaults suspect count
The Charlottesville Police Department announced Tuesday that the number of suspects arrested in the assault cases on University students was in fact nine, not the 10 reported to the media.
The error was accredited to the fact that one of the charged persons appeared twice on the list of suspects. The individual was interviewed and then charged at a later time.
"We should have caught the mistake sooner," Police Chief Timothy Longo said in a press release.
Longo emphasized that this error has no repercussions on the circumstances of the charges or any other element of the case.
At this time, only one suspect's name has been released to the media, as the remaining eight are minors.
