The
Johnson County town of Whiteland is searching for a new police marshal after
Gary Neeman retired from the post during a misconduct investigation.
Neeman
retired on March 28, Town Manager Dennis Capozzi said. On March 12, the town
council placed Neeman on paid leave while officials investigated alleged
misconduct.
Capozzi
declined to release details of the allegations.
Whiteland,
which had a population 4,169 in 2010, is about 7 miles south of Indianapolis on
U.S. 31.
The town is taking applications for the
marshal's job until April 19. Assistant Chief David Lowe has been named acting
town marshal while officials search for a replacement, Capozzi said. Neeman’s
salary was $54,488 a year.
