On July 9 at a special called meeting of the Many town council, Assistant Police Chief Dewayne Brumley was relieved of duty upon recommendation of current Police Chief Roger Freeman.
The termination was tendered due to several different instances, including behavior following a contentious meeting between the police department and town council several weeks ago which saw Mayor Ken Freeman arrested on previous charges stemming from an incident months before.
The votes for his termination were provided by James Kennedy, Anita Darwin, and Gay Corley. Abstaining were Mary Brocato and Bobbie Jackson, who have had issues with Brumley leading up to this meeting.
