The Alexander Chief of Police has turned in his letter of resignation.
Horace Walters said the mayor is micro-managing, and the assistant chief goes behind his back on decision about the department. The 67-year-old came out of retirement to help the city during the police racial profiling lawsuit three years ago.

Pablo Solorio of Salt Lake City said his family woke up to the sounds of a person screaming for help on Thursday morning.
The strange thing was the screams were coming from inside the house. Pablo locked his bedroom door to protect his girlfriend from what was clearly an intruder. The family found a young man standing in the hallway, screaming hysterically and bleeding heavily from the arm.
The young man, who lived in the neighborhood, apparently bashed the window with his arm and broke into the house. In the process, he sustained a deep cut on his arm. Pablo helped him by wrapping a towel around his arm and helping him until the police came.
Pablo says that he didn't have hard feelings toward the intruder and hoped he would heal from his wound.
