DALLAS - Administrative Law Judge William Messer upheld Dallas Police Chief
David Kunkle's decision to fire lieutenant Paul Wisdom.
Wisdom, fired back in April over threatening phone calls to Waxahachie
Independent School District officials, denied any wrong doing according to
reports.
Internal investigators looking into his case concluded he did in fact, make a
series of profanity laced calls to the district.
His wife, Velma Wisdom, ran for school board in May and received last place with
26 votes.
David Nix, Waxahachie High School principal, told investigators he had a
previous confrontation with Wisdom and was concerned about he and his wife's
safety.
