Police officer is fired after neighbor assault
CHANDLER - A police officer has been fired for his suspected role in the aggravated assault of a neighbor.
The Chandler Police Department announced Friday that Brian Delbert Rader, 32, was terminated Thursday after an internal investigation determined the officer had violated several city personnel rules, including engaging in conduct that could discredit city service.
Rader, who was arrested Jan. 17 after reportedly punching and biting a neighbor while "extremely intoxicated," may appeal the termination. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and criminal trespass.
