Monaca's mayor and council have
suspended a police officer without pay for about a month for conduct unbecoming
a police officer, the mayor said.
Mayor John P. Antoline said he
made the initial decision to suspend Officer Mark Young last Thursday, then
council voted Monday to uphold the suspension until at least Oct. 28, pending a
deeper review by council. Antoline declined to give details of Young's conduct.
Young couldn't be reached for comment.
Young has been with the Monaca
police, which has nine full-time and 12 part-time officers, full-time since
2002, and previously was a part-time officer. After reviewing his case and
interviewing him, council will decide whether to fire Young, Antoline said.
