FAIRFIELD -- The town plans to conduct its own review of a situation involving police Chief John Emery, who has been on leave since Wednesday.

"We are going to be doing an internal review, and it will begin this week," Town Manager Josh Reny said Monday. "We've hired an attorney to do that -- someone who specializes in that type of thing. Right now, there are a lot of unanswered questions."

Emery is on paid administrative leave and family medical leave, according to Reny. An incident occurred Dec. 24 near Emery's home on Palmer Road in Skowhegan, but police will not say what happened or whether the incident involved Emery. Reny said Monday he does not know whether Emery is connected to the Palmer Road incident.

More than a dozen law enforcement officials from four agencies responded to the 2:49 p.m. call about a "mental subject" -- a police radio term. Police said someone was taken into custody, but no charges were filed.
