WALBRIDGE, Ohio — Lake Township Fire Chief Todd Walters and two firefighters/paramedics have resigned amid a township police investigation into intravenous-fluid bags of saline being taken from a department fire hall to treat an intoxicated off-duty police officer. Township trustees Melanie Bowen and Richard Welling announced the resignations during a special meeting Thursday after a closed-door meeting with Police Chief Mark Hummer.
Deputy Fire Chief Mike Hornyak, and Tom Hayes, the township attorney. Trustee Ron Sims didn’t attend the meeting. Ms. Bowen, board chairman, said the departures of Chief Walters and the two firefighters — Richard Hallock and his wife, Michelle Hallock — stem from a “poor decision” the couple made after leaving the wedding reception of Trustee Sims’ son Saturday.
Chief Walters also attended township firefighter Steve Sims’ reception, which was held in the township. The groom’s brother, Scott Sims, who is a Lake Township police officer, was taken from the reception site and administered saline solution obtained from the Millbury Fire Hall, the trustees said.
