Parks did not respond to multiple requests from Fox News Digital for comment on the post.

Another city official facing criticism for her management of the situation is Cincinnati Chief of Police Teresa Theetge, who has accused social media and the mainstream media of failing to present the full story.

Her department has also been fairly silent on its investigation into the beatdown that occurred.

Although Theetge declared that five people had been charged in connection with the attack, only three individuals were taken into custody by Tuesday.

One of those individuals, Montianez Merriweather, had recently been released from police custody after posting $400 cash bail for serious crimes.

On Wednesday, a local judge set Merriweather’s bond at $500,000, as he faces crimes of felonious assault, aggravated riot and assault.

Dekyra Vernon was charged with the same crimes, and Jermaine Matthews was charged with aggravated riot and assault.

Cincinnati Police Lieutenant Jonathan Cunningham informed Fox News Digital on Wednesday night that two more arrests are anticipated. He mentioned that as the investigation continues, additional arrests “are likely to come.”

However, because this is an active investigation, Cunningham would not release any additional information.
