A Texas police chief accused of cheating on his wife with at least two women resigned after he was arrested for showing one of his paramours a phony marriage annulment.
The city of Stinnett announced Chief Jason Collier’s resignation “effective immediately,” in a statement posted on its Facebook page on Thursday. The married father-of-four was arrested earlier in the day on one count of tampering with a government document with the intent to defraud, Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Cindy Barkley told KAMR.
“Collier allegedly sent a text message to the victim with a fraudulent government record attached,” Barkley said. “The document was a fraudulent marriage annulment.”
