Longtime Chattanooga police lieutenant fired; internal investigation finds conflict of interest in working second job while on clock

A 23-year veteran of the Chattanooga Police Department was fired last month after an internal investigation revealed he'd been working at another job while on the clock at the police department, creating a conflict of interest for at least six criminal cases, and using his police vehicle to visit a girlfriend, whom he was hiding from his wife.
