Posted on June 8, 2017

North Judson has officially parted ways with former town marshal John Ramos. The town council voted Monday to accept his resignation. It came as part of a settlement agreement, which the council also approved.

In exchange for Ramos’s resignation, the town agrees to drop all of its disciplinary charges against him. Otherwise, the charges would have been made public in a disciplinary hearing.

The Town of North Judson also agrees to pay Ramos through May 30, 2017 and provide two months worth of severance pay. The town will also provide a neutral job reference, if requested, without any mention of the disciplinary charges.

The town council had voted to fire Ramos back in April. He had been serving as North Judson town marshal since July of 2016.

No timeline has been announced for choosing a replacement. For now, Officer Frank Thomas is leading the police department in an interim capacity.

North Judson residents will have the chance to meet the presumptive town marshal this evening. John Ramos is expected to introduce himself to the public during tonight’s town council meeting, according to Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins.

The town council voted to offer the position to Ramos earlier this month after reviewing several applications. If Ramos is officially hired, he would fill the vacancy created by the death of former town marshal Doug Vessely in April.

Tonight’s North Judson Town Council meeting starts at 6:30 p.m. at North Judson Town Hall.

The Town of North Judson is currently accepting applications for a new town marshal. Applications can be picked up at North Judson Town Hall and must be submitted by Friday, May 27. North Judson has been in the process of finding a replacement for former town marshal Doug Vessely, who died last month following a brief illness.
Meanwhile, the North Judson Police Department continues to deal with some personnel issues. Since Vessely’s death and the appointment of officer Frank Thomas as interim, at least one officer has been suspended. No information as to what prompted that action has been publicly shared.
North Judson Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins says town officials will discuss the situation next week. After that, more information may be released to the public.
