Wayne Township has reached a settlement agreement with its former chief, Mike Lang, who was convicted in June 2022 of a misdemeanor charge of Conflict of Interest.
Lang, who is now a Captain with the Wayne Township Fire Department, will be demoted to a firefighter and will take a pay cut, according to Jeff Harris, a spokesperson for Wayne Township.
As part of the agreement, Lang will retire in August 2024 at the age of 52 and will be able to access his retirement benefits.A WRTV Investigation raised questions about compensation he received through a nonprofit contract. As part of the settlement agreement that allows Lang to stay employed, he also agrees to cooperate with any future investigations into his time at the department.
“While we cannot comment on the specifics of a pending employment matter before the merit commission, Wayne Township conducted a thorough investigation and worked for months to uncover information that lead to this recommendation,” said Jeff Harris, Wayne Township spokesperson in a statement in May 2023. “Recovering taxpayer dollars and restoring trust in the department remain our top priority.”
