I would rather not (elaborate on the stories) since it’s under investigation by another agency at this time," Jalufka said. "I wish I could, but I can’t. (Kunschik) has a right to his due process." Jalufka refused to go into detail regarding the investigation while it still is ongoing. A public information request for video footage of the traffic stop was submitted by The Countywide, but sheriff’s department officials say the tape doesn’t exist.
