Mayor Speaks On Police Chief Resignation

It wasn’t about an investigation. That’s what Mayor Dennis Tyler is telling the Star Press about his split with former Police Chief Steve Stewart. Stewart resigned on October 31st, a short time after he stepped down as chair of the local Democratic Party. Tyler says Stewart’s resignation came after he failed to get back a computer of a fired city worker to “to prepare for possible grievances and potential arbitration.” Stewart chose not to reply to Tyler’s statement.
