MCCANDLESS, Pa. — McCandless Town Council suspended police chief Dave Disanti without pay after a meeting Monday night.
The motion passed 4-3 in front of only one resident who attended the open portion of the meeting, a distinct contrast to the packed houses that marked previous meetings regarding the ongoing controversy in the police department.
Now the council is working to come up with a corrective action plan before deciding whether or not to bring Disanti back on the force.
Disanti was placed on unpaid leave three months ago amid allegations of misconduct toward a female police officer. He appeared before the council Monday to defend himself against the allegations.
The vote took place in a closed-door meeting.
