Elkton Chief To Step Down

October 20, 2009 | Virginia News

Town Council bid adieu Monday to one-third of the Elkton Police Department. Two employees, including the chief, are leaving the six-man department.

Council "reluctantly" voted to accept Police Chief Jim Morris' resignation, with Councilman Lee Dearing casting the lone "no" vote and shooting a smile to Morris.

Morris, 35, had been with the department for nearly a decade. Hs is stepping down as chief to work for a private company that does "police advising."

Lt. Rodney Hensley will be the interim chief.
