City council takes control over Antioch police chief hiring

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:49:11 GMT

(KRON) -- The Antioch City Council has voted to take control of the hiring, firing and evaluation of the city's future police chiefs. The city manager will no longer be responsible for those tasks. Both positions of city manager and police chief are currently vacant in Antioch. This all comes as nine current and former police officers are facing federal charges after a raid last week by the FBI. Scientists solve deep-sea ‘Octopus Garden’ mystery off California coast The officers are accused of committing several crimes including coverups and multiple conspiracies. In an unsealed grand jury indictment, the officers are also accused of collecting “trophies” from crime scenes and displaying them on a mantle.The new order takes effect 90 days after the second reading of the new ordinance which presumably would happen at the next council meeting. This would give the city council time to hire an interim police chief.

NEW YORK (AP) — “How We Do” blared from the clubhouse speakers as disco lights flashed to the rap. Aaron Judge took over the wrestling championship belt that Anthony Volpe had held since the rookie’s three-run homer sparked a win at Miami on Aug. 11.“He’s never going to get the belt back again if it’s going to lead to eight, nine losses in a row,” Judge said with a playful smile.Despite a feel-good 9-1 victory over Washington on Wednesday night that ended the Yankees’ first nine-game losing streak in 41 years, New York (61-65) is 9 1/2 games back of a playoff berth and on track to end its streak of winning seasons at 30.“That ain’t going to hit a 95 mph fastball worrying about the standings,” Judge said. “We’ve got to focus on what we can control here on the field and show up every single day.”Before the first three-homer game of Judge’s major league career, general manager Brian Cashman said the team was “really obviously disappointed, frustrated, angered.”“I don’t think anyb...
