NEW VIENNA, Ohio (WXIX) - The chief of police in a small, rural Clinton County town has been fired.

Pate worked previously for the Addyston Police Department. He was the first Black police chief in New Vienna history upon his appointment earlier this year.

Robert Peters arrested a man without a warrant outside of their jurisdiction—in Wilmington—and also seized the man’s car.

The man faced accusations of holding a woman against her will and demanding sexual favors as payment in lieu of rent.
