Decatur Fires Police Chief But Doesn’t Say Why
The city issued a press release Thursday stating that Brad Sweeney, who's been chief since January 2015, has been fired, but City Manager Tim Gleason said he wouldn't provide further comment because this is a personnel matter. Deputy Chief James Getz was named interim police chief.
