(KNZA)--The city of Horton is searching for a new Chief of Police.
The Horton City Commission voted Monday evening to accept the resignation of Chief Jonathan Boller, effective August 25.
Boller's resignation was accepted on a 3-1 vote, with Commissioner Richard Lovelady casting the lone dissenting vote. Commissioner Carmela Boller abstained.
Commissioners thanked Boller for his service to the community.
Boller submitted his letter of resignation on August 11th.
In the letter, he stated his concerns with micro-management and questioning of his department's integrity by certain commission members led to his decision to resign.
Boller joined the department in September 2014 and took over as Chief of Police in January 2021.
Later in the meeting, the Commission voted to advertise the position and start accepting applications.
Assistant Police Chief Cody Spire will be in charge of the department until a new Chief of Police is hired.
