After Chief's Job is Eliminated He Walks Home in His Undergarments

The chief of the Croynon (NH) Police Department—a one-officer agency—was told by the town's three-member board of selectmen that his job was being eliminated and the agency disbanded on Tuesday night.

According to USA Today , Chief Richard Lee removed his uniform, his duty gear, his weapon, his body armor, and the keys to his patrol vehicle and walked home in his undergarments during a snowstorm.

Lee said that he didn't want to face the possibility of being arrested if he left the meeting with his department-issued property.

"Well, my cruiser is my way home 'cause it's a take home cruiser and I don't keep any spare clothes in the office so I did what I was ordered to do by the selectboard to turn that stuff over immediately, so I disrobed and I left my office in my underwear, my boots, and a hat," Lee said.
