MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) –
A Memphis church hired a crisis management team to do an internal investigation after a former employee’s arrest.

Rick Trotter, former voice of the Memphis Grizzlies, was arrested for filming “upskirt” videos of women at Downtown Church and Fellowship Memphis.

Members at Fellowship Church, where Trotter worked at the church from 2005-2010, said it looks more like the church is doing damage control.

“Members of the church body should be able to trust their leaders,” said a church member, who asked to remain anonymous. “Fellowship had an independent outside form to investigation any, all facts surrounding this matter … So, when I heard that, I thought, ‘OK, they’re looking into it.'”

Members said they received an email containing more information about the firm handling the investigation; one member said something doesn’t seem quite right.
