In the article "Police, UC prepare for Cinco de Mayo" (Monday, May 2), a number of statements warrant correction or clarification.
* The article stated Cincinnati Police Officer Tammy Hussels is a lieutenant. She is not.
* The article stated landlord Ray Ritchie owns properties on Stratford Avenue. He did in the past, but does not currently.
* The article stated Hussels asked landlords, at a neighborhood meeting, to provide police with "tenants' information - including names, hometown addresses and Social Security numbers" to assist with enforcement of possible riotous behavior related to Cinco de Mayo.
There is disagreement about what was actually said.
Hussels maintains that she only asked for names and local addresses. Other people present at the meeting, including Clifton Heights Business Association president John Schuler and business owners Doug Barclay and Jennifer Helligraph, also have said that only names and local addresses were requested. All four parties said no information was actually given to police.
The meeting minutes state that Hussels asked for names and local addresses. There is no mention of hometown addresses or Social Security numbers.
* The article stated Ritchie said he complied with the police request for information. Ritchie maintains he had given tenants' names to police for Cinco de Mayo enforcement purposes in 2004, but did not this year.
* The article stated Ritchie said previous Cinco de Mayo mischief prompted his installation of security cameras. Ritchie has since said the cameras are for catching criminals.
