A former Butler City Police Officer will retire from the force as part of a deal agreement with Butler City Council.
The exact details of the agreement with William Mayhugh will not be released until the deal is finalized.
Council fired Mayhugh last year after an incident at the Butler County Prison involving alleged use of excessive force with a prisoner. Mayhugh filed a grievance through the police union, arguing that he acted within the scope of his authority. An arbitrator ruled in his favor in January leading to this settlement, which includes $67,000 in back pay.
Mayhugh is currently using vacation days he earned with the Butler City Police Department while he continues to work at the Butler County Sherriff’s Department.
