Was it a forced resignation?

Questions swirl as to whether the sudden departure of the Walhalla police chief, Sean Brinson, was a simple resignation or a forced resignation.  Brandon Burton, city administrator, late yesterday afternoon confirmed Brinson had resigned and disclosed that the city took possession of all city-issued items that had been in the chief’s possession.  Apparently Brinson is willing to address what happened, from his standpoint.  The resignation occurred the day after a rare, lengthy mid-day city council meeting in which the council gathered to consider a personnel matter.  Meantime, Capt. Tim Rice, second-in-charge, is supervising the department.
