PORTLAND (AP) — Portland’s police chief has been returned to full duty by the city’s mayor.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Mayor Ted Wheeler returned Mike Marshman to duty Wednesday.
The mayor said Marshman didn’t violate policy based on an initial review of an investigation into whether someone signed the chief’s name on a training log in March, when he hadn’t attended the session.
Wheeler had placed Marshman and his executive assistant, Lt. Mike Leasure, on paid administrative leave March 24 pending an investigation.
Officials say Leasure later changed his account, saying the chief hadn’t directed him to sign the log on his behalf.
