MIAMI TOWNSHIP, Ohio — On Friday, Miami Township Fire Chief Brien Lacey was placed on paid administrative leave "pending an investigation," the township announced.
A press release from Miami Township in Hamilton County was issued on Tuesday, though it did not elaborate on the investigation that necessitated Lacey's leave. The press release contained two lines, one confirming Lacey's paid administrative leave pending an investigation and one stating the township will not comment further.
