June 2007: Dann, standing on a street in an upper-middle class neighborhood, spots a reporter who had written a story he didn't like. Dann says, "Hey Steve, write this down: Go (expletive) yourself!"
May 2007: For the past three months, a man who served time in prison for involuntary manslaughter has been driving Dann throughout the state and attending to his security details. Dann's office fires David L. Nelson, 57, when a national criminal background check turns up his conviction from 1976 in Mercer County, Pa.
April 2007: Dann fires Rick Alli, his "top cop," and asks the Ohio Ethics Commission to investigate him for possible ethics law violations. Alli, 52, had been a sergeant with the Youngstown Police Department when Dann hired him Jan. 8 to be Director of Law Enforcement Operations. But Alli failed to resign his Youngstown job, according to Dann's office.
January 2007: Dann taps Steve Lamantia, 67, to be interim superintendent of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification. BCI assists local law enforcement, conducts criminal background checks and processes forensic and DNA evidence on many cases statewide. However, when Lamantia led the Howland Twp. Police Department in Trumbull County, his property room was a mess and his policies — covering issues such as when to shoot — were inadequate. The problems were detailed in press reports and a 120-page report by the Ohio Chiefs of Police Association in late 2002.
