Robbins Mayor Lonnie English resigned his position Thursday, two days after the council held a closed-door council meeting to discuss âconductâ of a town official.
Town officials refused to discuss a reason for Englishâs sudden decision, and English could not be reached for comment.
But Anjanette Grube, a spokesperson for the State Bureau of Investigation, said Thursday that the Bureau was requested in November to investigate English for possible obstruction of justice.
During the Robbins Board of Commissionersâ regularly scheduled meeting Thursday, commissioners unanimously approved Mayor Pro Tem Nikki Bradshaw s motion to accept English s resignation. That action came after the meeting started with a 30-minute closed session.
