The mayor of a small Georgia town has axed its entire police force for upsetting his wife, who’d previously been accused of creating a “hostile work environment.
” Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick shut down the Cohutta Police Department and fired all 10 of its employees earlier this week after officers allegedly made “inappropriate comments” about his spouse on Facebook, “The PD has been dissolved, and all personnel have been terminated,” read a brutal sign on the department’s door first thing Wednesday. It wasn’t immediately clear if cops were notified in advance or only found out they’d been fired when they showed up expecting to work.
“They’ll get a paycheck. We’re not that way, and I appreciate their service, okay? It is time for a change,” Shinnick said bluntly when asked about the controversy.
Trump admin to begin releasing highly anticipated UFO and ‘extraterrestrial life’ files — here’s what to expectThe petty saga erupted late last month when several officers lodged formal complaints about the town’s former clerk, Pam Shinnick — who is also the mayor’s wife — continuing to work for the town despite having been fired. Cohutta Mayor Ron Shinnick shut down the Cohutta Police Department after officers apparently made “inappropriate comments” about his wife, Pam, on Facebook.
She was terminated last year for apparently creating a “hostile work environment” in the town of less than 1,000 people — but allegedly still had access to personal and classified information. In the wake of the formal complaints, the mayor held a joint press conference with Police Chief Greg Fowler and town attorney Brian Rayburn to say they’d managed to resolve the dispute through “open dialogue and good faith mediation.
”“This all comes to personal vendetta from the mayor — and I wholeheartedly believe that,” said one of the gutted officers, Sgt. Jeremy May, adding they’d been assured their jobs weren’t in jeopardy for lodging complaints about the mayor’s wife.
“Official response from the town attorney: Nobody’s jobs are in jeopardy,” May said. “Here we are, less than a week later, nobody has a job. ”The mayor, for his part, blamed the conflict on “inappropriate comments” posted on Facebook by the officers. For now, the fired officers have been ordered to return all department equipment.
