Detroit -- Police officers and city officials expressed shock to learn that Mayor Dave Bing had fired James Barren as police chief after less than a year on the job.
Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans will replace Barren effective Monday, Assistant Chief Ronald Fleming said.
"I talked to (Barren), and he told me that Evans would be replacing him Monday," Fleming said. "Don't ask me why. These things are always political."
