Quote from the article:
| The case is unrelated to the criminal mischief and assault charges of which Whitt was convicted last week by Jackson County Circuit Judge John Graham. Howell J. Mason filed a lawsuit in August against the Town of Somerville and Whitt. The litigation alleges that Whitt battered and assaulted Mason. It also alleges that Somerville officials were negligent in hiring and supervising Whitt. Somerville Police Chief Joe Mann said Wednesday after Whitt’s Tuesday conviction in the unrelated case that he would continue to work as a police officer. Mann, however, sent an e-mail Friday afternoon saying Whitt had resigned. Mann did not answer phone calls after sending the e-mail. Mayor Ray Long did not return phone calls seeking comment during business hours from Wednesday through Friday. Long commented about the Mason lawsuit after it was filed. |
