Meeting to discuss Lowe's future on hold

The town of Vergennes has postponed indefinitely a meeting to discuss the future of its police chief.
The city manager was expected to address the board of aldermen last night with a recommendation about Chief Michael Lowe. Lowe has been on paid administrative leave since a June collision, in which he was accused of driving under the influence of drugs. Lowe denies the charges. Lowe is expected back in court next week to respond to embezzlement by a public official, neglect of duty, and several drug-related charges.
