Many residents at the meeting called for Museus to lose his job in the wake of Police Chief John Wilson’s resignation, which was submitted in the form of a letter to the board Monday afternoon. Wilson is the subject of several discrimination-related lawsuits. He admitted in a recorded deposition that he used the “N word” in referring to African Americans.
Wilson is officially retired and is now subject to retirement benefits provided to police through a fund that is contributed to by the town but not administered by it, Museus said.
Sgt. Laura Palmer was appointed to be the acting police chief.
Former officer Chris Luzinski, who is among the current and former police department employees suing Wilson and the town over various issues with Wilson, said at the meeting Monday that Museus and the board ignored his previous warnings about Wilson’s behavior and that he believes Museus should be fired.
