Eufaula Police Chief Mark Goodwin has resigned effective immediately.
Goodwin, in a letter to City Manager Jeb Jones obtained by the Phoenix, said he can no longer serve in his position.
“I truly loved leading my officers and serving our citizens,” Goodwin said in the letter. “However, it has become apparent to me that City Manager Jeb Jones and I have major differences in how the Eufaula Police Department should be run. I cannot, in good conscience, remain as chief of police and make the changes that he is. requiring me to join.”
Jones declined to comment, saying he could not comment on personnel matters.
This is a developing story.
