BLOOMINGDALE, Mich. (WOOD) - By a 5-1 vote, John Josten was fired as chief of the Bloomingdale police.
The vote comes after he was suspended for a domestic assault, and amid allegations the village council was targeting him because he arrested some of them.
The vote came after negotiations between attorneys representing the village and the chief.
Among the five voting to remove Josten were t hree who had their tires slashed last week -- the same three who are the target of an ongoing recall effort.
