Kirkersville's Harget replaces Wardlow as Buckeye Lake Police Chief The Buckeye Lake Police Department has its third chief of police in an approximately two-year period. According to a recent social media post made by Mayor Peggy Wells, Jason Harget, formerly chief of police for the village of Kirkersville, is Buckeye Lake's new chief. On the morning of March 9, an official answering the department’s main line on March 9 said of former Chief Vicki Wardlow, “she is not employed here anymore.” The department’s website had not yet been updated on March 9 to reflect Wardlow’s departure. But in a post made to her own Facebook page on Monday evening, Wells welcomed Harget as the department's new chief. The post included a picture of Harget surrounded by other Buckeye Lake Police department members. A similar post also appeared on the Buckeye Lake Police Facebook page.
