HOPEDALE - Former Hopedale Police Chief Ron Bone is in police custody on unspecified charges, according to Harrison County Prosecutor T. Shawn Hervey.
Hervey said he understood Bone was arrested Thursday afternoon, but declined to comment on the charges against Bone.
"Until I see the report, I'm not at liberty to discuss any potential charges," Hervey said, noting he expected to release more information late this morning.
Hervey said he believed Bone was in the custody of the Harrison County Sheriff's Department late Thursday.
In late August, Bone resigned as Hopedale's police chief under unknown circumstances after five years in that position. Village Mayor Bill Decker declined to comment on Bone's arrest Thursday, referring all inquiries to Hervey.
Following Bone's resignation, officials said village would receive police protection from the Harrison County Sheriff's Department.
Hervey would not say whether the reason for Bone's arrest was related to him leaving his job.
No additional information on the case could be obtained at press time.
