| Subject: Beat it, punk: Interim poLice chief in Ferguson resigns early Sun Nov 22, 2015 2:37 am | |
| The interim police chief in Ferguson is leaving the post about two months earlier than expected, citing a desire to return to his family, city officials said Friday.
Andre Anderson, a 50-year-old black man with 25 years of law enforcement experience, was hired in July on a six-month appointment, after the St. Louis suburb's police force came under fire over the fatal shooting of an unarmed, black 18-year-old in August last year.
City spokesman Jeff Small said Anderson submitted his resignation effective Dec. 2.
Anderson, who has previously expressed interest in becoming Ferguson's permanent chief, declined an Associated Press request for an interview Friday.
In coming to Ferguson, Anderson left "a much higher paying job, children, and his wife and other family members behind," and he feels he's needed back home, Small said. Anderson will return to his job as commander of the police department in Glendale, Arizona, Small said.
