Aledo Police Chief and City Administrator Chris Sullivan has been placed on paid leave. The city released a statement through its North Carolina PR firm HAVEN Creative late yesterday afternoon.
“We are fully cooperating with the authorities in this matter and are confident that this will cause no disruption to city services,” per quote from Mayor Chris Hagloch.
According to the release, Lieutenant Nick Seefeld is overseeing Aledo Police Department operations during this time.
