GIRARD — Police Chief Frank Bigowsky says the charges lodged against him by city officials are without merit, but he’s expected to offer an official explanation to all seven charges today.
Bigowsky, via a weekend e-mail, offered a short response to the charges levied against him following a two-week investigation by city administration.
“I believe the complaint I filed against this administration was the catalyst for conducting an internal investigation and filing charges against me. Not one charge levied against me has any merit and I look forward to truthfully addressing these allegations in front of a fair and impartial panel. I only regret that the monetary costs incurred during this entire process will continue to fall upon the taxpayers in the City of Girard,” said Bigowsky.
The chief, who is on paid administrative leave, would not comment further. He is due at city hall by 10 a.m. today to offer an official answer to the charges.
