Besides the firing of Hutchinson Police Capt. Troy Hoover on Monday, other personnel at the police department have been suspended pending completion an internal investigation, Hutchinson Police Chief Jeffrey Hooper confirmed Tuesday.
Hooper would not say how many individuals are on suspension or identify them.
“We will be taking further action this week,” Hooper said. “I’d rather not say at this point (the number or the individuals) because it’s an internal matter and we are still working with them. I’d hate to find out it was more or less than I say is involved.”
The internal investigation should be wrapped up by Wednesday afternoon and more information will be released at a press conference following that on Wednesday, the chief said.
