Trion’s demoted Police Chief Charles Latta has hired a lawyer for Monday night's public personnel review. Latta has formally protested his demotion. He went from Chief of Police to working as a second shift patrolman. Now he wants a hearing before the mayor and council to find out why. That hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Latta has hired Rome Attorney David F. Guldenschuh, according to Town of Trion Attorney Albert Palmour. Palmour and Guldenschuh have battled on Trion soil before. Back in 2006, Guldenschuh represented a town employee that was initially fire by Trion Mayor Benny Perry for unknown reasons. A specific reason for Latta’s demotion is also lacking.
“I don’t have confidence in his ability to run that department anymore. That’s all I ever said to anyone . . . It’s not something that just happened. It’s went on ever since I’ve been here really,” Mayor Perry said. “I had three council members that said they would go with me on it.” |
