From Senatobia, Miss.: A police chief's employment was terminated due to alleged use of derogatory language in messages. This decision came after the chief attempted to resign, but the offer was declined. An investigation uncovered the chief's messages, which included offensive terms. The messages were sent over the course of about a year.

The city's board made the decision to fire the chief at a meeting. This is not the first time the city has removed a police chief in a short period of time.

Further information about the situation is available from the source, including details about the investigation and the events leading up to the chief's termination.
