FREMONT, MI – The chief of police in Fremont has been placed on paid administrative leave while the city investigates his conduct.
Fremont City Manager Todd Blake said Police Chief Randall Wright was placed on paid administrative leave effective Tuesday, Sept. 24.
Blake provided MLive/Muskegon Chronicle with the following statement:
“Due to the recent allegations made against Chief Wright the City of Fremont has placed Wright on administrative leave until further notice. The city is conducting its own investigation into this matter.”
In Wright’s absence, Fremont Police Sgt. Jon Geeting “will be in charge,” the statement says.
Blake declined to elaborate on the reasons for the investigation. WOOD News 8 has reported that Wright is accused of inappropriate contact with a woman during a Fraternal Order of Police outing.
