Police Chief Jeremy Clark suddenly resigned his position in Searcy, Ark., after a federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms task force searched his home March 3. FFRF had complained several times, starting in 2013, to Clark and other officials about Latin crosses in front of the city building pictured above, but he refused to remove them after first claiming none were ever there. Clark said at the time, “Christianity is part of our police department.”
According to KTHV News, a residence owned by Clark is part of an arson investigation. Authorities are also looking at possible violations of firearms and controlled substance laws and an allegation of abuse of power.
