The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) has reported the termination of a high-ranking commander, David Pearson, who was implicated in the negligent homicide of a corrections officer. The firing is a culmination of events following a lethal training session led by Pearson, which resulted in the unfortunate death of Lt. Rodney Osborne. Data acquired by CW Columbus reveals Pearson’s dismissal was due to multiple infractions against the department’s code of conduct.
