SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department says it won't investigate recordings of South Bend police phone calls in a case that led the city's mayor to demote the police chief.
The department's civil rights division says in the letter that it returned the recordings to the city without listening to them because there wasn't sufficient evidence of a crime even though they might contain racially charged statements about former Chief Darryl Boykins, who is black.
City Council members have pushed for Mayor Pete Buttigieg to release the recordings. Council President Derek Dieter tells WNDU-TV members have questions about handling of the letter by the mayor's office.
The letter is dated Aug. 27, but mayor's chief of staff tells the South Bend Tribune that it wasn't received until Wednesday.
