Laurie BOA Affirms Police Chief’s Termination

The Laurie Board of Aldermen went into closed session during their regular meeting at the request of former Laurie Chief of Police Shane Edwards. Edwards was abruptly terminated last month and was quickly replaced. There has yet to be a reason that Edwards was fired and it was not brought up at any meeting after. Edwards requested the board to reconsider his termination. The board, in closed session unanimously voted to stand by their original decision.
