EVERGREEN, Alabama -- A police officer involved in the alleged tasing of a city councilman's sister while she was restrained in a chair at the county sheriff's department was fired effective Monday, according to court records.

Mayor Pete Wolff III recommended the firing of veteran officer Sean Klaetsch on Sept. 7 weeks after the alleged tasing incident. Wolff cited various complaints from city residents and others that the officer had been the focus of "complaints of unprofessional and harassing conduct."

Officials placed Klaetsch on paid leave pending the hearing required by law. Hearing officer Jack Weaver issued the ruling on Monday upholding the firing.

In an email obtained by the Press-Register, city attorney Richard Hartley advised Police Chief James Simpson to clean out the former officer's desk, have his personal property delivered and advise Klaetsch to return a list of all city property in his possession.

Attempts to contact Klaetsch were unsuccessful early today.
