Chaney ousted as Howard County police chief amid controversy
Howard County executive Dan Ecker dismissed Maj. Chaney two weeks after taking office in 1990 citing personal chemistry. Chaney had pressed administrative charges against officers Victor Riemer and Ricky Johnson tied to the Bowie party incident, while a grand jury cleared them of brutality charges and a civil suit by the Bowies remains in federal court. Chaney, who led three and a half years, says he aimed to uphold policy despite pressure from within the department. He now works on seat belt studies and sought other police leadership roles.
