Turmoil has descended on a small South Carolina town after its police chief and all four officers have resigned.
McColl, with a population of about 2,000 residents near the state line with North Carolina, people, has had six police chiefs in the past four years, according to the Post and Courier.
McColl Mayor George Garner said Police Chief Bob Hale left first, followed by the rest of the force in a drama that played out through the month, according to WMBF-TV.
“My personal decision to step away from the McColl Police Department can be attributed to repeated acts of harassment, personal attacks on my character, and the overall creation of a hostile work environment perpetuated by a specific Councilman,” he wrote.
“For months, I have endured unwarranted and malicious behavior aimed at undermining my integrity and leadership,” he wrote, saying the attacks “created a toxic atmosphere that has hindered the department’s ability to function effectively.”
