Staff writer Anita Debro reports for the Birmingham News. Excerpt:
Irondale Mayor Allen Ramsey is ordering all City Hall employees to undergo a polygraph test to determine who may have leaked confidential police information.
Ramsey said Tuesday night he will submit to the testing and he is also asking members of the Irondale City Council to do the same.
“In leaking confidential police information, those persons are guilty of impeding an active ongoing investigation,” Ramsey said.
According to Ramsey, someone made allegations of misconduct in the Irondale Police Department and leaked confidential information to radio talk show hosts Russ and Dee Fine late last week.
The Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office is now investigating claims of wrongdoing in the Irondale Police Department.
