Did he leave Maine, or is this a different Chitwood?
Never mind. One and the same:

Media Mike Chitwood took the job of Police Sueprintendent in Upper Darby about 6 months ago.
He recently returned to Portland to announce that he would not be a candidate for Governor of Maine -- Why anyone would have thought he would make a good candidate or governor is beyond me.

I am a descendent of Matthias Chitwood, so I went to check out those articles you posted. Then I decided to Google for a picture and found another one about Michael Chitwood. His father is Michael Chitwood, Sr.
Chitwood's father, Mike Sr., worked as a Philly cop from 1964 to 1983, including stints in the city's hostage negotiation and homicide units. He's now chief of police in Portland, Maine. With this move to Oklahoma, Jr. will follow in Sr.'s footsteps yet again.
Father and son both rank among the most commended officers in Philadelphia history-and the most controversial.
Apparantly Chitwood, Sr. was the one that arrested Einhorn and the Chitwood in this article is his son, although the article that I read was talking about him moving to Oklahoma. Maybe he changed his mind.
One thing I found interesting, the picture of Chitwood, Sr. looks a whole lot like my brother.
