Appeals Court Rules on Chief Franckhauser Case
The Court of Appeals holds that the Common Pleas Court lacked power to decide suspension limits or compensation for former Steubenville police chief Franckhauser. The ruling accepts only the sufficiency of removal cause while directing further cases to resolve whether he was suspended or owed back pay if reinstated. Judges emphasized integrity of the Civil Service Commission and noted evidentiary issues around service of a warrant and illicit liquor sales.
