Former Fort Worth Police Chief's Hearing Over His Firing Has Been Delayed

Fort Worth Police Chief Fitzgerald

FORT WORTH (1080 KRLD) - There's now a delay in tomorrow's scheduled hearing over the firing of former Fort Worth police chief Joel Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald is seeking immediate re-instatement and back pay.

Also, a judge has extended her temporary restraining order to prevent the city from hiring a new chief.

His lawyer contends the firing was improper, claiming Fitzgerald was entitled to a public hearing before he was fired.
