The Village of Mount Morris has put its police chief on administrative leave.
Mayor Joel Mike of the Livingston County village says in a statement that Chief Ken Mignemi “has been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately, pending the outcome of an investigation into a disciplinary matter.”
He doesn’t add anything more, but there are reports the chief allegedly ordered a subordinate to release an elected official who had been stopped for DWI.
Officer Mark Brado is heading the department temporarily.
