The city of St. Marys has sworn in a new police chief to lead the department. Formerly a sergeant, Lucas Turpin took the oath and became the St. Marys Police Chief at Monday night’s City Council meeting. The promotion comes after former Chief Brian Christopher accepted a voluntary demotion back to police officer as part of a Last Chance Agreement.

"I am as committed to this community now as I was the first time I took office". That from Lima Mayor David Berger as he takes his 8th oath of office Friday.
