Marion police commander calls for Weitenhagen dismissal
Capt. Joe Neuhaus testified that fired patrolman Jim Weitenhagen broke the law by allowing two women to drink beer in his car and by permitting an unloaded revolver to be handled in Central City. Neuhaus said the actions showed poor judgment and, combined with alleged noncooperation, justified firing. The Civil Service hearing probes the February dismissal amid union tensions and reinvestigation by Chief Birmingham.
