Carlsbadistan’s Police Chief Tom Zoll, 58, has been placed on administrative leave “pending an investigation” according to a story in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Capt. Mike Shipley has been the acting chief since March 18, Kristina Ray, the city’s communications manager, said yesterday. . . . “It’s a personnel matter, and the city cannot comment,” she said. . . .Councilman Keith Blackburn, a former Carlsbad police officer, said, “All I know was our chief was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.” . . .Zoll’s stewardship of the Police Department has seen little to no public controversy since he was hired in 2003. He is known for an easygoing style and dry sense of humor. . . .Contacted at his Carlsbad home yesterday afternoon, Zoll politely said he had no comment.
Guess we’ll find out more as the story develops.
