Former Ligonier police chief arrested for alleged sexual assault
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - A former police chief is facing felony charges for allegedly sexually assaulting a patient at a recovery center in Westmoreland County.
John Berger, the former Ligonier police chief, was fired last year following a raid at the police department.
State police say he was working at DreamLife Recovery in Donegal as a behavioral health technician, where they say he admitted to sexually assaulting a patient there this month.
He's now behind bars at the Westmoreland County Prison.
