(MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo., AP) — A St. Louis suburb’s police chief and top commander are on paid suspensions after complaints about an unfair work environment.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/2bDGUKJ ) reports that Maryland Heights announced that Chief Bill Carson and Deputy Chief Joe Delia are on paid administrative leave. That’ll continue while city leaders do an “in-depth review of the operation” of the suburb’s police department.
Capt. Mike Klos, a 31-year veteran of the department, has been named acting chief.
Carson also is the St. Louis County Police Chiefs Association’s chairman and a member of the region’s major case squad.
Delia’s attorney says he’ll hold a news conference Friday and “vigorously respond” to allegations he said were made by the city’s mayor.
A message left with Carson wasn’t immediately returned.
