Two Ohio Attorney General's Office employees have resigned after an incident involving Macedonia police.

According to the spokesperson for the office, the employees resigned during a review of the incident. 

Authorities have not yet said what exactly happened that led to the review but the spokesperson said there were allegations that the personal conduct of the employees affected their management abilities. 

The female employee was a law enforcement training officer who was hired in 2010. 

The male employee, who had been with the office since 1998, was a special agent supervisor. 

The Ohio Attorney General's Office issued this statement to newsnet5.com:

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office learned of a recent incident involving two employees and Macedonia Police. In the course of the Attorney General’s Office initiating a review of that incident, the two employees resigned earlier today.

The two employees were formerly in leadership positions in their respective sections. In July 2015, the two employees were confronted by the Attorney General’s Office with allegations that their personal conduct affected their management abilities. In response, the employees requested voluntary demotions. Our Human Resources Section did not receive a formal complaint regarding this previous behavior, nor did the allegations claim that the conduct occurred on Attorney General’s Office property or on office time.
