ICYMI: A South Carolina community is without a police force after the entire department resigned, including the chief of police.

On Friday, McColl Mayor George Garner confirmed that the town no longer had any police officers and told WMBF News that the community is in a “difficult situation.”

“We’re actively working to hire a new police chief and more officers,” Mayor Garner said. 

Garner said Police Chief Bob Hale put in his resignation first and the other officers then followed suit. 

In a public Facebook post, Hale stated his resignation was due to alleged repeated harassment and personal attacks and “hostile work environment” by an unnamed member of the city council. 

“It is with a heavy heart that I do confirm my resignation as Chief of Police of the McColl Police Department along with all four of my fellow officers,” Hale wrote. “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.”

Two Florida Highway Patrol troopers were injured in a Tallahassee high-speed chase Sunday night.

FHP spokesperson Patricia Jefferson-Shaw said the troopers began chasing a suspect in a Dodge Charger when they recorded him travelling more than 100 mph on Interstate 10. The suspect exited on Mahan Drive, and the pursuit ultimately ended on Buck Lake Road near Epping Forest Drive with each vehicle hitting a separate tree.

Both troopers, who were together in their patrol vehicle, were taken to Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, Jefferson-Shaw said.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for their recovery. 🙏🏽
