The police chief in Blue Mound resigned abruptly Thursday night after saying he believed city leaders wanted to defund the police department.
Residents gasped as Dusty Steele left the podium during a public hearing on the city budget, took off his badge, and put it down in front of Mayor Darlene Copeland.
On Wednesday, the police department Facebook page highlighted an appearance by Governor Greg Abbott in Fort Worth, where he backed law enforcement funding. The savings were a necessity though according to Copeland, who responded to the department's social media posts by reading a statement after she called the meeting to order.
