Galveston Beach Patrol chief placed on administrative leave over handling of beach patrol facility

GALVESTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Galveston Beach Patrol chief was placed on unpaid administrative leave amid an ongoing investigation.

On Saturday, ABC13 reporter Nick Natario confirmed that Beach Patrol Chief Peter Davis is now on administrative leave.

The park board of trustees is investigating new complaints about Davis' handling of Beach Patrol resources and personnel.

Davis allegedly allowed visiting members of the National Chilean Lifeguard Federation to stay in the now-demolished Stewart Beach Pavilion last year.
