The police chief and three officers that make up the entire four-person police department of the town of Geary, Oklahoma, and two of the town’s city council members have resigned with little explanation.

Former Police Chief Alicia Ford did not address the specific reasons for the Thursday resignations, but wrote in a social media post that the decision was difficult.

    I live close by and drive through Geary often for work. It’s a very small, very poor town. Not much there at all. Like not even a McDonald’s. Their grocery stores are a dollar general and dollar tree. Again very poor farming community. If anyone on the force was making 165k per year then yeah that’s absolutely fucking absurd for a town that size. It’s also a speed trap town. And let me tell ya, those Tahoes they are driving are new and nice
