Peoria police officer earned more than $300,000 in wages while on paid leave

PEORIA — A Peoria police officer has earned more than $300,000 in wages and almost half that in benefits without putting on a uniform or going on patrol.

Jeremy Layman has been on paid administrative leave since Dec. 23, 2019, while the city has been challenging that arbitration ruling which gave him his job back after he was fired in February 2018.
