OCEAN PINES – The Ocean Pines Association announced the retirement of Police Chief Leo Ehrisman this week as an investigation into a burglary at the police department’s storage shed continues.
On Tuesday, General Manager Viola issued a statement announcing Ehrisman’s retirement. The announcement comes more than five months after the police chief was placed on administrative leave as local agencies began to investigate a reported burglary that occurred at a storage shed used by the Ocean Pines Police Department.
“Chief Leo Ehrisman gave notice of his retirement today,” a statement reads. “We thank him for his years of service to Ocean Pines and wish him well. A search to find his replacement is commencing immediately.”
In early January, the Ocean Pines Association (OPA) announced that Ehrisman has been placed on paid administrative leave effective Jan. 1. The suspension came just one day after Viola learned of a reported burglary at the police department’s storage shed, according to the association.
“On Saturday, December 31, 2022, OPA’s General Manager became aware of a report of a burglary which occurred at a storage shed used by the Ocean Pines Police Department on December 17, 2022,” a statement issued by the Ocean Pines Association in January reads. “After consultation with partners at the Worcester County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of the State’s Attorney, OPA has taken steps to ensure that a thorough and independent investigation is conducted, and that police services to residents of Ocean Pines remain uninterrupted.”
What a crooked place to live. They always have some kind of fraud or criminal case going on.
Sounds like someone didn’t want Leo around. Cut throats.
Did He do the Burglary >?????
