Savannah Police Come Under Scrutiny
Primary Content
An investigation into the Savannah Police Department faults the city's former police chief for "inadequate" and "unproffesional conduct".
Chief Willie Lovett abruptly resigned in September after an officer filed a sexual harassment claim against him.
A third-party probe into the department shows the chief withheld information and ordered false documents made in an investigation of lower-level officers.
Two-police employees are being investigated in a drug trafficking scheme.
Savannah's City Manager, Stephanie Cutter, says she'll follow the investigation "where it leads."
The former chief and others come under scrutiny in a 183 page report.
Chatham County District Attorney Meg Heap says she's asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into the accusation into the report for possible criminal violations.
