Put-In-Bay Police Chief Fired

toledoblade.com

The Put-in-Bay village council has voted to fire Police Chief Ric Lampela. In February, Lampela was placed on administrative leave and charged with blocking an investigation into sexual assault claims against an officer. State and county investigators say Lampela refused to look into sexual assault claims from two employees and hoped to prevent negative publicity for the department.

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.
