Kimball Perry reports

After police shot and then arrested Gilbert Mallory this morning, both the Cincinnati Mayor’s Office and Police Department issued press releases noted Gilbert Mallory ISN’T related to Mayor Mark Mallory but provided no context.

Then, Jason Barron, the mayor’s communication director, called to ask that the Enquirer’s online story be changed to note there is no relations between the two Mallorys – because the man shot by police early this morning apparently has been saying on the street he IS related to get free stuff and to take advantage of the name.

It should have been clear Gilbert Mallory isn’t related to the politically prominent Mallory clan – that includes a former state politician, the mayor, a current state representative and judge – because he isn’t on any public’s payroll.
