NEWTON TOWNSHIP — The township has a new chief ready to take the keys to the Police Department once Chief Frank Tomaino leaves.

Newton Township trustees unanimously voted to hire Newton Falls officer Tommy Thompson to the part-time chief job.

Thompson, who filled in as chief previously, was selected over Capt. Earl Quinn who took a 65-day leave of absence after the interviews.

"He (Thompson) was a straight-forward kind of guy. He had a lot of experience and he’s local," Trustee Chairman Peter Augusta said Monday. "He’ll be well-respected by the community."

According to Clerk Ella Johnson, Thompson will earn about $7,800 a year. Tomaino leaves Thursday to take a full-time job with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
