If you or I were to do this we'd be lucky to not be in a world of hurt for the past year. This guy gets a class b misdemeanor and a paid vacation (assuming his leave was paid, usually is). Great appointment Litchfield. Let's put an alcoholic misogynistic dude in charge of the police department. This is not about left or right, red or blue. This is about conducting an honest interview and not ignoring background checks (although I'm sure that there is a lot that would have been suppressed by the 'brotherhood').
He should have been in rehab and counseling, not an appointed office, to ensure his mental health and the safety of the community.

This is not the first time someone high up in LPD has been involved in a situation almost identical to this. It boggles the mind but then you remember what state this is and it no longer does.

Right?? This happened in like...'04... And again in like ' 07. Different chiefs. Nearly identical stories.

I know in early 2000s it happened repeatedly because they just kept shuffling the same upper leadership into different roles as if they all weren’t cut from the same cloth and then were shocked when another one who supported the others got in the same situation. Don’t know about now though

Yeah. I moved away years ago. But I swear we got a new police chief every other year during and immediately after my high school years. I'm relying on my patchy memory, but I believe Hudson and Litchfield were known for having pretty corrupt departments. Everything from domestic stuff, DUIs, and more police involved shootings than you'd expect in two small towns.
I want to say Hudson may have cleaned up... But Litchfield clearly still has work to do.

His ex wife made allegations against him for domestic abuse back in 2014 I think.
