Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley now faces at least two investigations. One was requested by Governor Kathy Hochul, and another now being launched by the Monroe County Office of Public Integrity.

The tense exchange between Doorley and a Webster police officer during a traffic stop last week continues to stir controversy, and the Monroe County Office of Public Integrity says it has received several requests to investigate.

Director Janson McNair said in a statement that his office "will conduct an investigation in conjunction with the Monroe County Board of Ethics," which he chairs. The investigation will begin immediately.

It comes after Hochul referred the incident to the New York State Commission on Prosecutorial Conduct.

Hochul said in a statement "District attorneys are responsible for prosecuting criminal and traffic offenses, and must perform their duties with the highest ethical standards."

The chair of the commission, Michael Simons, told 13WHAM the agency can subpoena witnesses and documents and make recommendations for sanctions.

Eventually, the results of both investigations are expected to be made public.
