APD issued a search warrant on Friday to look into the scaffolding set up at 21 Rio after three men last month fell to their deaths while working on the building. Police believe that the scaffolding was installed defectively at the site, using inferior, sub-standard materials. This faulty scaffolding installation may result in charges of criminally negligent homicide. [Statesman]
