Former Avon police chief scheduled to plead guilty after FBI investigation

Former Avon Police Chief Joseph Geer is scheduled to plead guilty to a federal crime Tuesday.

Court records show Geer, who has been the target of an FBI investigation , is scheduled for a plea hearing before U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Wolford.

The court records give no specifics about the plea. Geer's attorney, James Nobles, declined to comment Friday.

Geer resigned from the top post at the Avon Police Department last month.

When announcing Geer's resignation, Avon Mayor Robert Hayes said the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office were investigating Geer's "scheduling and time reporting" in his capacity as a school resource officer for the Avon Central School District.

News of that investigation first broke in March, when Geer was placed on an unpaid suspension. Details have been limited.
