Sidney Police Chief B.J. Wilkinson wrote an email in the spring of 2014 that said he was asked to keep a citation written to a city employee "off the radar in County Court and the newspaper."

It makes one wonder how they all still have jobs and positions of power right now during this ordeal. The only one not working is the police chief and he is on paid leave for a month (must be ruff). The right thing to do is suspend them all until a full investigation is done by people not involved with this town or its politics.

Then incredibly, the Mayor states he is unsure what direction to go. The direction is the law, Mr. Mayor.
