(Adair) The Adair City Council voted to return Police Chief Brad Wendt to his duties at Wednesday’s meeting. Last Month, a Federal Grand Jury in Des Moines returned an indictment on December 14, charging Wendt with unlawfully obtaining and possessing machine guns. The accusation is merely an allegation, and Wendt is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
The court permitted Wendt to have contact with the Mayor, Adair City Council, and City Attorney Clint Fichter at Wednesday’s City Council Meeting.
Wendt’s trial date is set for February 27. Fichter says Wendt has been returned to duty until his court process is resolved.
