(Adair) The Adair City Council Reinstated Police Chief Brad Wendt on Wednesday night.

In early September, the Council placed Chief Wendt on paid administrative leave after the FBI executed search warrants the previous week at his Adair City Office and at least one gun store he owns. Adair City Attorney Clint Fichter tells KSOM/KS95 News at a rescheduled meeting on Wednesday evening; the City Council voted to reinstate Wendt as the Adair Police Chief.
