FERGUSON, Mo., July 22 (UPI) -- City leaders announced Wednesday an Army veteran with 24-years law enforcement experience will be the new interim police chief at the beleaguered department following months of unrest in the shooting of an unarmed black teen.
Andre Anderson, 50, was appointed to take the place of interim Police Chief Alan Eickhoff, who has held the office since March when the police chief resigned under fire. Anderson, has spent 24 years with the Glendale, Ariz., Police Department, most recently as commander. It's unclear how long Anderson will be in the post.
