Columbiana police chief invest

Columbiana Mayor Allan Lowe has requested two separate investigations of the city's highest-ranking law enforcement officer.

The probes were ordered in response to allegations made against Police Chief Johnny Brown, Lowe said Tuesday afternoon.

Lowe said he was not aware of any specific charges filed against Brown, but confirmed some of the allegations "did involve possible minor theft."

Brown remains on extended sick leave.

"To my knowledge, Chief Brown is being treated," said Lowe. "I do not know when to expect that treatment to be complete."

Lowe requested on Monday an investigation by the Shelby County Sheriff's Office to focus on any possible "chargeable offenses."

A second Columbiana-lead investigation will explore any possible violation of city policies or procedures.

"It's something I would do when any employee of the city is accused of committing any wrongdoing," said Lowe.

During Brown's absence, Lt. Shawn King will preside over the department.

Lowe said no further personnel action would be taken until the investigations are complete.

"Chief Brown has always performed in an exemplary manner. I know him as a man of integrity. He and his family are in our prayers," said Lowe.
