BENTONVILLE -- Centerton Police Chief Cody Harper was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday, according to Brian Rabal, Centerton's city attorney.
Rabal said he's been in contact with the Benton County Sheriff's Office concerning an investigation. Rabal said he recommended that Mayor Bill Edwards place Harper on administrative leave.
Rabal said he could not discuss the investigation.
"We are going to have a third party come do an administrative audit," he said.
Capt. Kris Arthur, who is the second in command of the department, will be in charge during Harper's suspension.
