Police Chief Fired Over Unauthorized Background Check

The first female police chief in a South Georgia town is looking for another job after being fired for invading the privacy of a city council member.

Poulan Police Chief Angie Schlosser was placed on administrative leave with pay this week for running an unauthorized criminal background check on Councilman Vann Jones. On Thursday, the city council met in executive session and voted unanimously to fire her.

The chief has said she ran the background check to complete the requirements of employment for Jones, who was applying for a job.
