How the town manager didn't know.. is baffling. There is no way!! The manager is just as much at fault for this.. vote him out too!!

50 cops for a population of 250 citizens and this did not raise the eyebrows of anyone on town council - unfriggin believable !!

[TheTravAbides]

I’m shocked! Cops are corrupt?! I’m I say! 😂

The corrupted police officer should be fired, sued and go to jail for a very very looong time.

[sandraricard]

The Chief not doing his job he should be jail

[Cops-R-Bad]

Corruption….allowed by many people. Its not just one person.

[merissaratcliff]

I wonder what are the charges. Must have been stealing

I'd suggest that Coffee City contract with the Sheriff to cover their law enforcement needs....it has worked well in many other areas

He did NOT operate in a vacuum. Follow the money, every one of the city "leaders" was/is in on it. They all need to be held accountable.

[Cops-R-Bad]

Can someone please bring the FBI and DOJ into this. It would be a slam dunk, lots of potential promotions $$$

So you sell off your police equipment and think that the next town over will police your town forever? That's not a real mayor. You need at least three police in that town.

[marm]

Yes so glad they police themselves lol lol

[FB-tqln]

Looking from afar this issue is mind baffling it beggars belief. How can a town not check who they hire. it like asking a wild cat to protect an aviary
