HORTONVILLE, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Hortonville’s Police and Fire Commission is not changing its ruling on the village’s police chief.
In February, the commission suspended Police Chief Michael Sullivan two weeks for violating department policies.
The given reasons included: discrimination, harassment, disclosing confidential information, threatening officers if they filed grievances against him, and lying about facts during the investigation into his actions.
Roughly one week after the commission’s decision, an attorney for Sullivan’s accusers asked for the ruling to be reconsidered.
On March 14, the commission met to review the new responses it requested from both sides. Tuesday, it announced the meeting resulted in the decision to maintain its previous stance.
However, new complaints against Sullivan have been filed by the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, the village administrator, and Hortonville Police’s full-time officers, alleging that the behavior for which Sullivan was punished has continued.
No hearings have been set for the new complaints.
