Ocala's police chief is asking to be put on paid administrative leave.

  • Ocala Police Chief Greg Graham requests paid leave
  • Graham faces accusations of sex harassment, discrimination
  • City Council will vote on request Friday

The move comes after Police Chief Greg Graham is being accused of sexual harassment, discrimination and hostile treatment of three of his officers.

Graham denies the allegations, but he said it's a reasonable action to put him on leave.

City Council members are expected to vote on whether to approve the leave at a meeting Friday.

Ocala Mayor Kent Guinn has defended Graham. 

Graham became the police chief in 2012
