Buckeye Lake Officials Investigating Multiple Allegations Against Police Chief

The Village of Buckeye Lake has placed the police chief on desk duty after an internal investigation found 22 violations, including falsifying time cards and stealing money.

James Hanzey accidentally discharged his weapon inside a home while responding to a call March 10. But no one was in the home, and records show he had just had surgery to remove a finger. The violations also include allegedly falsifying hours worked by several officers and stealing money. Hanzey is expected to appear before the village council in May to address the allegations.  
 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
