The entire Goodman, Missouri police department has resigned after a new mayor is elected Tuesday.
John Bunch, a former commissioner, was elected mayor during the April 4th elections. Former Police Chief Adam Miller says Bunch accused the department multiple times, saying Bunch is anti-law enforcement. Miller says outgoing mayor J.R. Fisher is a big supporter of the police department.
Fisher says he is nervous to pass on mayoral duties because he saw the writing on the wall. Fisher says if Bunch won the election, he knew current officers would not work for him.
The resignation of the police department goes into effect today. The McDonald County Sheriff's Office will patrol Goodman until new officers are hired.
