The city of Hazelwood, Missouri, has quietly parted ways with its police chief months after he was pulled over while driving 'hammered' and taken home by a neighboring city's chief, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. Chief Gregg Hall is set to retire on Jan. 1, a decision that's reportedly been in the works since as early as Aug. 17, despite the city keeping it under wraps until Friday. Hall was pulled over while off-duty around 3:30 a.m. on May 28 in O'Fallon, Missouri. The struggling chief botched multiple sobriety tests that were captured on body camera, but escaped arrest when the responding officer called on his city's chief, John Neske, to come and drive Hall home without penalty.
