MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Mooresville Police Chief Damon Williams was placed on administrative leave with pay Monday, according to Town of Mooresville officials.
State law prevents officials from disclosing information regarding a personnel matter, but officials said this action was taken pending final review of an internal personnel investigation.
Officials say the internal personnel investigation involves the department and is being conducted by an outside agency.
This is a personnel matter, and was "not based on any allegation or suspicion of criminal activity," according to Town of Mooresville officials. Mooresville officials also announced that Police Captain David Call, supervisor of the criminal investigations division, was placed on administrative leave with pay.
