Sullivan Steps Down After 37 Years As Timberville’s Top Cop
October 20, 2009 | Virginia News
TIMBERVILLE - Retired Timberville Police Chief Richard Sullivan had his work cut out for him when he took the job in 1972.
Known then as the town sergeant, Sullivan worked 15 to 20 hours a day breaking up drunken brawls and chasing belligerent lushes out of parking lots late at night. For the roughly two decades, Sullivan was the lone cop in Timberville and was essentially on duty 24 hours a day.
Sullivan's last day as chief was Saturday after 37 years on duty. He plans to spend his time working in his garage and around his house.
