Tale of Woe

Arkansas fire chief shot by police in court over tickets

you will respect my authority

Apparently seven officers weren’t enough to subdue him.

Tickets issued by police officers in the town of Jericho, Arkansas had long become an item of contention. Many of the townspeople had claimed that the police force had gone from simply overzealous to downright unethical in their quest to issue tickets.

So when fire chief Don Payne got two tickets in one day he went to court about the matter, and was pretty upset.

At some point, the disagreement turned into an argument, and at some point the argument developed into a scuffle, and all seven of the town’s police officers were engaged. Finally, one of the police officers pulled out a gun and shot the chief in the back.
