Overview

• The newly released recording from Dec. 6, 2024 captures Natalie McDaniel loudly cursing at then-Mayor Kahlil Seren inside City Hall, as documented by audio from the lobby.
• Sgt. Jason Moze activated his body camera only after several minutes of audible shouting and later detailed the incident in a written report.
• An Ohio Court of Claims judge ruled on Sept. 4 that the video qualifies as a public record, leading to its release on the final day of the 30-day deadline.
• The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office declined the city’s request to pursue felony charges against Moze for turning on his body camera.
• The release follows Seren’s Sept. 9 recall and the installation of Interim Mayor Tony Cuda this week, with Law Director William Hanna reinstated under the new administration.
