A West Virginia town has taken the unusual step of firing its entire police force after the chief resigned. This move has sparked concern among local residents, who are calling for transparency and the reinstatement of the former police chief.

The situation is attributed to actions taken by a newly elected city council, which residents believe has overstepped its authority. A petition has been started by residents to address these concerns and demand change.

Further details about the situation, including the circumstances surrounding the police chief's resignation and the alleged evidence room break-in, are available from FOX 26 Houston.
