Rodriguez-Cornelius is Now Police Chief in Training

By Drew Adams

Murray, KY – Brookport, Illinois city council members say they've mediated an agreement between Mayor Judy Askew and former Police Chief Nheema Rodriguez-Cornelius over the chief's demotion to patrol officer. Askew met with the city council Thursday to discuss the issue. Askew and the council now say Rodriguez-Cornelius will serve as Police Chief-in-Training for 90 days at her former pay rate. The Paducah Sun reports she will be re-evaluated at the end of the period.
