Former Akron Police Chief Sentenced For Misuse Of Database

news5cleveland.com

Former Akron police Chief James Nice won't be able to work as an officer in the future after pleading guilty Tuesday to unauthorized use of a police data base. 

A judge sentenced Nice to a 180 day suspended jail sentence, one year of community control, a 1 thousand dollar fine and the loss of his peace office certification.  Nice illegally used a police database for personal reasons last year. He resigned under pressure last August amid allegations of interfering in an investigation of a relative and his use of racial slurs.  
 

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
