Two high-ranking police officers are suspended. KRMS News can confirm that Linn Creek Police Chief Greg Berry and Sgt. Dave Stark are on paid administrative leave pending an investigation into multiple allegations. Claims against the two include possible violations of civil rights, mishandling of evidence, and improper taking of personal property during an investigation. The suspension occurred during a vote of the board of aldermen in late April. A special session held this past Thursday night resulted in no additional action as the investigation is ongoing. The suspension also means that the Linn Creek Police Department is currently operating with only one officer. We’ll continue to update the story as more information becomes available.
