SHEFFIELD LAKE, Ohio (WJW) — The FOX 8 I-Team has learned of a settlement in the complaint filed by a local African-American police officer after his chief left him a note referring to the KKK.

Multiple sources confirmed there’s a proposed settlement for that, along with two other complaints against the Sheffield Lake Police Department.

The I-Team revealed video in 2021 showing the Sheffield Lake police chief leaving a racially insensitive note for officer Keith Pool, a note referring to the Ku Klux Klan.

After the incident came to light, the chief stepped down.

Later, Pool filed a complaint with the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. He also left the department.
