The lead detective in the Ryan Widmer murder case, Lt. Jeff Braley, who came under scrutiny because of alleged resume fraud, has resigned from his position with the Hamilton Township police department, Warren Ritchie, township law director, said in a news release.
Braley’s resignation, submitted Friday, takes effect Sept. 1. He cited personal reasons for his resignation.
“The Township has accepted his resignation and has placed Lt. Braley on an unpaid leave of absence until the effective date,” Ritchie said. “Although technically a member of the Township’s Police Department until the effective date, Lt. Braley has surrendered his badge and no longer has police authority under the auspices of the Township’s Police Department.”
