Back in September, Charleston Police Chief James “Tyke” Hunt was placed on administrative leave pending the results of the investigation by the Professional Standards Division. On Wednesday night, current Chief Scott Dempsey confirmed to Eyewitness News that the investigation was complete and Hunt was currently on suspension status. Dempsey said he could not confirm how long the suspension would be. Hunt’s current rank at the department is now corporal. Hunt entered into leave as a lieutenant, indicating he was double demoted as a result of the investigation. In an interview with Eyewitness News reporter Kennie Bass, former Charleston police officer Chelsea McCoy alleged Hunt tampered with her polygraph results during her departmental application process and had improper interactions with her in the polygraph examination room and the former chief’s city hall office. Hunt resigned as chief on Aug. 18, citing medical and personal reasons. He had been on medical leave until the administrative leave was issued after undergoing back surgery.
