The Federal government charged a police chief for violating a man’s civil rights. The charges came after the chief reportedly threatened to arrest the man for posting “critical” comments against the chief and his department on Facebook. According to court records, the chief has agreed to plead guilty to the federal charges and has also resigned from the police department.
