GORHAM — Gorham Police Chief Jimmy Willhoite remains on administrative leave following a scuffle with Stephen Gregory of Berlin, who is accusing the chief of allegedly trying to strangle him. An investigation by two different entities into the matter is ongoing — the Public Integrity Unit of the state Department of Justice and the New Hampshire Police Training Standards.

Additional details of what transpired between Gregory and another young man, both of whom were in the police department lobby located within the town hall before the scuffle between Willhoite and Gregory broke out, have not been made public.
