However, minutes obtained from Midkiff’s hiring in 2022 showed a Mantua town council member stating “that he will tell any who ask him not to call Chief Midkiff for help … because he does not think Dakota Midkiff would handle it properly due to his lack of experience. He also said citizens should be fearful…”

Midkiff is the city's fourth police chief in five years.

In 2019, the then-chief was arrested for DUI in his squad car, and two years later a different chief was terminated over a dispute about whether he was writing enough tickets. That chief's replacement was found to have been fired by a previous employer and later resigned, leading to Midkiff’s hiring.

Sounds like the town let cops get away with everything, and now they're dealing with cops who do anything they want.

Assault the elderly and then get a paid vacation.
