LIPSCOMB, Ala.
Lipscomb’s Police Chief Conlin Payne is on unpaid administrative leave following Thursday’s child abuse indictment.
Hoover Police say the 36 year old Payne is accused of abusing an acquaintances child in October of 2007.
Originally a report was filed with Birmingham Police through D.H.R. and Children’s Hospital last October.
The case was then referred to Hoover Police seven months later.
Lipscomb Mayor Deborah Miller announced Thursday Payne has been placed on unpaid leave pending an internal investigation and the criminal case against him.
“Very disappointed in the Chief. I understand this was something done not on duty and on his own time, but I’m still disappointed,” Miller said outside City Hall Thursday.
Lipscomb’s Police Department included 5 officers in addition to the Chief.
Payne has served as Lipscomb’s chief since 2004.
Chaplain Jady Pipes will take over Payne’s duty in the meantime.

cHIEF pAYNE IS A GOOD CHRISTAIN MAN WHO HAS BEEN WRONGLY ACCUSED OF THIS HIEOS CRIMNE. tHE CHOICE HE MADE IN HAVING THIS ASSOCIATION WITH THIS FEMALE HAS COST HIM MUCH. NOW, WHO'S GOING TO PROTECT HIM? IT IS PAINFULLY OBVIOUS THAT HIS FELLOW BROTHER POLICE OFFICERS DID NOT. IT'S OKAY TO LAY YOUR LIFE DOWN DAILY FOR OTHERS BUT WHEN THERE IS AN ALLEGED PROBLEM YOU ARE THROWN TO THE WOLVES. iF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO HIM, THEN THE REST OF SOCIETY CAN JUST FORGET THAT WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE "INNOCENCE UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY:.
Seed time harvest time is real ... He may be a christian man today, but the truth is there was a seed planted 14 years ago by this very man. what if it were child would u want Payne to be protected or your children? God kept me all of this time while I wondered if ther would ever be true justice in for my own daughter and today the Lord revealed even more to me that He has it all under control! I will be praying for the Payne family because they have been through this before... I wonder if you knew that anonymous.
