Ousted Chester chief shocked by Nacrelli
Former Chester Police Chief William J. Hoopes, 51, said he was shocked by Thursday afternoon’s removal by Mayor John H. Nacrelli. He vowed to vindicate himself, deny resigning, and pursue legal action to protect his right to testify, as the feud over supervision of the vice squad and his cooperation with the FBI continues. He remains “unassigned” with a roughly $20,000 salary, awaiting civil service action.
