Officer Garry Chapman Takes on New Investigator Role Amid Legal Dispute

Officer Garry Chapman of Priceville has shifted to new investigator responsibilities while continuing his legal dispute with the city. His attorney confirmed that Chapman is still contesting a 10-day suspension following a fatal police chase.

Dispute Over Disciplinary Action

The suspension stems from Chapman's involvement in a high-speed pursuit that ended in a fatal crash. According to his attorney, the officer believes the disciplinary measure was unjustified and is pursuing legal action to overturn it. The case may involve potential claims worth up to 10 million dollars, reflecting both lost wages and damages to his professional reputation.

Ongoing Legal Proceedings

City officials have not commented publicly on the ongoing litigation. Records indicate that both parties have submitted motions and responses as the case moves toward further hearings. Meanwhile, Chapman continues his police duties under supervision, now focusing on investigative work rather than patrol.

Quote from Chapman's Attorney

“Officer Chapman remains committed to serving the community and clearing his name through the legal process,” stated his attorney.

Author’s Summary

Garry Chapman continues his police career as an investigator while challenging a 10-day suspension in court, seeking restitution for what he claims was an unfair disciplinary action.
