SC police force resigns

[Sweetjane]

Has anyone else been following this bizarre story?
The police chief and his four deputies resigned citing harassment from a city council member.
Four days later the mayor of McColl (the same town), dies in a car crash while being chased by the police of the next county over.

Now some nonprofit group has come in to town without telling anyone, they are recruiting people to patrol schools. It's so strange.

*information about why the mayor was being chased keeps changing

H was telling me about this. Possibly the strangest true story I’ve heard in some time.

I would totally read this if it were a book

I'm most curious about the mayor, why were they pursuing him?
Was he a suspect in something?
Was a a danger to himself or others?
Keith Morrison, this assignment is for you.

Yeah the article says they were pursuing him "in effort to protect the well-being of Mr. Garner"

which is super suspect.

That particular area of small town SC is really something.

Is this an episode of Dukes of Hazzard?
