An Omaha fire captain has been placed on paid leave and ordered to stay away from all City of Omaha public buildings including fire stations after he allegedly threatened to kill the fire chief.
A letter obtained by ‘Action 3 News,’ Captain John Gruttenmeyer is told by the city’s Action Labor Relations Director, “It has come to my attention that on October 19, 2009, you made a treat that you would “kill’ Chief Mike McDonnell if he (obscenity) with you … you are hereby directed that you are banned from entering Omaha Fire Department Headquarters or any other City of Omaha facility at anytime for any purpose.”
A fire department spokesman held a news conference Wednesday afternoon but offered few new details, calling it a personnel matter. Gruttenmeyer could face termination, and even criminal charges.
