In Jericho, Arkansas, a police officer has apparently taken a
scrimmage between cops and fireman to the max: first the cops
ticketed the fire chief for speeding twice in one day, and then
when the chief complained in court he upped the ante by
shooting him on the spot.
It's a story that really has to be read in full to be believed.
It seems that this tiny town of 174 residents had a police force
of seven that really stretched its mandate to the absolute limit.
"You can't even get them to answer a call because normally
they're writing tickets," said Thomas Martin, chief
investigator for the Crittenden County Sheriff's Department.
"They're not providing a service to the citizens."
Now the police chief has disbanded his force "until things calm
down," a judge has voided all outstanding police-issued
citations and sheriff's deputies are asking where all the money
from the tickets went.
That's right -- the police chief straight-up disbanded his police
force. Is there any precedent for that?

Nothing new but the shooting; a 2003 State report on Jericho's handing of its money reads like a comedy script:
