State's top cop placed on leave following failure to follow governor's order
Gov. Robert J. Bentley has placed Secretary of Law Enforcement Spencer Collier on a medical leave of absence from his job as the state's top cop.
Bentley notified Collier today he had made the decision to place him on leave. Collier told his staff and employees of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency this afternoon.
The leave of absence, which is for three months, comes as Collier is dealing with back problems and pain and is scheduled to soon undergo surgery.
