McCANDLESS, Pa. — After months on suspension, the McCandless police chief returned to work Monday.
Chief David DiSanti had been on administrative leave since Oct. 29 after a female officer came forward, alleging she was mistreated by him because of her gender. Two more women also claimed they experienced inappropriate behavior while he was in charge.
Details behind the allegations have not been released, but DiSanti was ordered to complete a corrective action plan.
