University of Utah Police Chief Rodney Chatman took over the department in January, and many were hopeful he’d help address campus safety concerns and rebuild student trust in the wake of Lauren McCluskey’s murder.
University of Utah Police Chief Rodney Chatman has been placed on administrative leave, according to the school’s communications director Chris Nelson.
Chatman was hired in January, taking over the department as it faced criticism for its handling of the on-campus murder of 21-year-old student athlete Lauren McCluskey in October 2018.
While university officials initially did not offer details about the reasons behind Chatman’s leave, the U’s Chief Safety Officer Marlon Lynch sent a statement late Friday evening which said it was because Chatman was being investigated by the Utah State Attorney General’s Office on allegations Chatman “may have violated certain guidelines that are also criminal offenses.”
