Mahanoy City Borough Council unanimously decided to dismiss a borough police officer who was suspended with pay in April in connection with an investigation of alleged missing money.
According to the Republican Herald, Cpl. Michael Dissinger was suspended at a special council meeting on April 27 following an announcement that the Pennsylvania State Police had opened an investigation of $10,000 that had been seized during a drug arrest, and was allegedly missing from the evidence area at police headquarters in the municipal building.
During that April meeting, the borough council also accepted the unexpected retirement notice of police Chief John C. Kaczmarczyk, who along with Dissinger were the department’s highest ranking officers.
No charges have been filed against Dissinger and Kaczmarczyk.
