GENOA, Ohio - Two police officers in northwest Ohio resigned because they had been looking at pornography and participating in online gambling on the department's computer while on duty, Police Chief Chad Millner said Thursday.
The officers, who have not been criminally charged, resigned last week rather than oppose a recommendation to Mayor Tom Perry that they be fired, the chief said in a prepared statement.
The chief suspected the activity and contacted the state Bureau of Criminal Indemnification and Investigation, which examined the department's computer.
Village Solicitor Peter Gwyn would not comment on whether there would be any criminal charges filed against officers Brian Chambers and Adam Lants. They could not be reached by telephone for comment.
Genoa is located about 15 miles southeast of Toledo.
