A former Cedar Rapids Police chief is facing suspension from the Ocala, Florida department where he is now chief.

Three Ocala Police officers Monday accused Greg Graham of sexual harassment, hostile treatment, retaliation, and discrimination.

Tuesday night, the Ocala City Council voted to begin suspension proceedings against Graham. The council also voted to hold a special meeting Friday to decide whether to place Graham on administrative leave with pay, and how long his suspension would be.

The council president said he wanted Graham removed during the investigation to maintain the integrity of the investigation.

Graham was police chief in Cedar Rapids from 2008 to 2012. Before coming to Cedar Rapids, he was previously a deputy chief in Ocala. He left Cedar Rapids in 2012 to go back to that police departmen
