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.
"It is with great sadness that I and the rest of the Geary police officers will no longer be serving this community," Ford wrote, "but it was the right decision for me and the other officers."
