Thomson’s police chief resigned Monday, and his last day will be May 23.
WTHO, a Thomson radio station, reported that the city council unanimously accepted Chief Joe Nelson’s resignation Monday. The council will hold a meeting early next week to discuss the need for an interim chief and steps to find a replacement.
City council members could not be reached for comment Monday night.
Evidently not something he and or Council wanted known and reason may or may not be hidden from the press.
Wasn't there something about a year ago about inappropriate email and someone being fired for being pregnant or something to that affect? Not sure how long ago as time flies.....
Not sure about the pregnancy but it seems that a city employee had difficulty with drinking and driving a city vehicle at the same time! It also seems like this person was stopped by the Thomson PD and allowed to go home and maybe even given a ride. Won't mind if someone corrects me!
