McPherson Asked To Resign

Garrett Mayor, Todd Fiandt asks Police Chief Roland McPherson for his resignation, citing performance-related issues. In March, the DeKalb County prosecutor claimed that a 2020 death investigation was significantly compromised…because police didn’t follow protocol. In May 2020, Garrett Police responded to a home…where David Converset’s wife reported his death.
When a police captain and sergeant arrived, rigor mortis had already set in. They told detectives they did not have to respond. A crime scene technician and state police detectives weren’t called either…which the prosecutor says is also against protocol. State police did eventually get involved and gathered enough evidence to charge the wife…Michelle Converset. She pled guilty to aggravated battery.
