MOUNT GILEAD After nearly 30 years spent serving and protecting the village, Police Chief Brian Zerman has hung up his badge.
“I came out of the military, did a couple of odd jobs and started working at Marion Correctional Institution,” he recalled.
During that stint Zerman began taking an interest in law enforcement.
“I talked to a a couple of guys who were deputies. That piqued my interest so I came over and talked to Chief Bob Ruhl.”
