Police Chief Fired for Refusing Drug Test Amid Mayor’s Claim of Marijuana Odor in Office

An Ohio police chief found himself out of a job after Mayor Jewell Hayes-Hensley claimed that his office reeked of marijuana. Police Chief Harold Webb was terminated by the New Miami Village Council for refusing to take a drug test after the mayor and a council member claimed they could smell the odor of marijuana in his office.

The drama unfolded on June 20 when Mayor Hayes-Hensley visited Webb’s office to collect his daily logs and was hit with a strong smell of marijuana that she claimed could “knock you off your feet”. This led to a unanimous vote by the council to terminate Webb from his position as police chief.

The incident highlights the importance of maintaining a drug-free workplace, especially in law enforcement. The refusal to take a drug test can have serious consequences, as seen in this case. It serves as a reminder for all employees to comply with drug-testing policies to avoid potential disciplinary actions.
