Ravenswood's Chief Of Police Resigns
WEST VIRGINIA....
During a meeting Thursday, Ravenswood City Council members voted to accept Chief of Police Paul Hesson's resignation and to hire an outside attorney to investigate the Police Department because some residents have made allegations of wrongdoing by officers. Council members indicated their interest in forming a citizens advisory committee for the Police Department. Members feel it would make residents feel more comfortable coming forward with complaints against the department. Hesson, a former State Police trooper, has served as chief of police for three years. Ravenswood Mayor Lucy Harbert will serve as interim police chief.
