The Ontario County (N.Y.) Sheriff’s Department is in the final stages of its investigation into the death of Kevin Ward Jr., but there is no timetable yet for its completion, a department spokesperson told FOXSports.com Monday morning. Officer Nathaniel Ross, the OCPD’s Senior Communications Officer, said Monday morning that the police are ‘finishing up’ the Ward investigation. Asked if there was a timetable for when it would be completed and when the findings would be made public, Ross said, ‘Not that I’m aware of.’ The investigation will determine whether or not Stewart will face any criminal charges. Regardless of the outcome of the police findings, Stewart potentially could face civil liability.(FoxSports), see all the past news about the accident and Stewart on the #14 Team News and Links page.(8-25-2014)
