Convicted sergeant asks safety board for hearing
JAMIE DUFFY | The Journal Gazette
A Fort Wayne police sergeant who admitted strangling his wife has asked for a hearing before the board of public safety that will decide whether he keeps his job.
Sgt. Boyce Ballinger was given a 11/2-year suspended sentence last week after he pleaded guilty in February to felony strangulation and misdemeanor domestic battery.
Police Chief Steve Reed has asked the board of safety to fire Ballinger, but Ballinger has a right to request a hearing, Assistant Chief Karl Niblick said during Thursday's board of safety meeting.
The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. March 26.
