SOUTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — The mayor of a local city says he is fighting to keep the police chief he just hired.
Channel 2 Action News broke the news on Twitter that the mayor of the city of South Fulton offered the new chief his job, but hours later, the city council rejected it.
"I'm telling you it was very difficult for me to sleep," Mayor Bill Edwards told Channel 2's Nefertiti Jaquez.
Edwards said he had difficulty sleeping because he had to make one of the toughest phones calls of his life.
“I said to Luther, 'We need to, we got an issue,'” he said.
The new city of South Fulton had its first police chief, but only for a few hours.
