Fire Chief Faces Four Charges | Columbus News

from Columbus News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Fire Chief Douglas Stewart is on the hot seat in Jerome Township, facing four serious charges including political meddling and insubordination. Accusations include using his official title in campaign materials for candidate Wezlynn Davis, posting endorsements, and overstepping with the Union County GOP. He’s also accused of sending a letter to Amazon using township letterhead to criticize their data centers — and allegedly threw a separation agreement across a table in a heated moment. On paid leave since May, Stewart and his attorney are preparing to defend him at a July 21 public hearing where the township board will decide his fate.
