FAMU police chief will step down

The police chief at Florida A&M University is retiring less than a week after reports surfaced that Tallahassee authorities didn't receive timely information about an off-campus hazing incident from 2010, the school announced Tuesday.

The university said Calvin Ross, 63, will retire May 1 after 11 years with the university and 40 years in law enforcement. Ross, who previously headed the state's Department of Juvenile Justice, asked to be put on leave immediately.
