Worthington Chief Steps Down for Issaquah

Worthington’s short-lived police chief, Steve Mylett, is stepping down after just under two years to take the helm in Issaquah, Washington—citing family proximity as his reason.

Worthington’s city manager praised his service as he prepares to depart, while the city moves swiftly to appoint an interim chief.
