The police chief and three officers that make up the entire four-person police department of the town of Geary, Oklahoma, and two of the town’s city council members have resigned with little explanation.
Former Police Chief Alicia Ford did not address the specific reasons for the Thursday resignations, but wrote in a social media post that the decision was difficult.
From a separate article:
The city moved quickly to secure an interim police chief, JJ, who, although reportedly working initially as a consultant, was placed into the role amid a cloud of controversy. This information came to light in an interview with KOCO 5, where a resident, Tatum Wigington, noted, “The same person who is the acting interim chief was hired by the city council to do an audit on the police department and now he is the interim chief. That seems a little suspicious.”
JJ Stitt — who described himself as a 27-year law enforcement veteran, as a county deputy, a member of a task force investigating internet crimes against children and a distant cousin of Gov. Kevin Stitt
Nepotism, internet crimes, police audits… What a story! I wish someone in this town would chime in, but in a town of 1000 people it seems unlikely
Yeah I don’t know why but investigating internet crimes against children seems really sus.
