Fox News
An Alabama police officer who remained on his city's payroll for two months after being convicted of murder has resigned from the Huntsville Police Department.
Darby has been on paid leave since his May 7 conviction for shooting a suicidal man who was holding a gun to his own head. The city said placing Darby on paid leave was normal until its personnel policies and procedures could be completed. Huntsville's Republican mayor and police chief publicly disagreed with the jury's murder verdict.More Related News
