Pell City police officer resigns after arrest

A Pell City police officer resigned after being arrested, ending the officer’s employment with the Pell City Police Department.

Resignation and arrest

The officer’s resignation followed an arrest. The officer’s name, the charge, the date of the arrest and the date the resignation took effect have not been established here.

An arrest is not a finding of guilt. Any criminal case would proceed separately from the officer’s employment status.

What to watch

The next public developments could include a court filing, a statement from the Pell City Police Department or city officials, or additional information about the officer’s employment record. Those records would help clarify the charge, the timing of the resignation and whether a criminal case is moving forward.
