Kendall Perry was rehired as chief after the new mayor, Charles Powell III, took office. Depending on who you ask, Perry either abruptly retired or was among the four city staff members fired in January for reasons they say were political.
Former chief Kendall Perry left the police department last month. Now, the city has selected its former director of internal affairs as the next chief.
Before Perry's retirement announcement, he faced a disciplinary hearing to show cause for certain activities under his administration. He retired the next day.
