LANSING – A former Norway police officer is set to stand trial on misconduct charges during his time on the force.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Friday that
43-year old Chad Olson, of Vulcan, on Friday was bound over to stand trial in the 41st Circuit Court in Dickinson County. Olson, who was a Norway Police Officer until December 20, 2024, allegedly misused his position to access the personal contact information of women through police databases. It is alleged he then used that information to flirt and curry favor with the women, which led to one sexual encounter with a woman while on duty in the police station.
After resigning from the Norway Police Department, Olson is further alleged to have illegally purchased a pistol without a license, using his
M-COLES number when he no longer had any police authority.
Olson will next appear in the 41st Circuit Court on August 21st.
