An 84-year-old mayor who was found by a police chief with marijuana plants in her garden has fired the entire department. City commissioners voted 3-2 Monday night in favor of closing the department.
The controversy came to the forefront earlier this month when Mayor Mary Lee Cook told officials she believed someone from the police force planted marijuana on her property.
The mayor called the special meeting, and presented a number of complaints against Police Chief Diane Young. During the discussion, commissioners decided it would be best to 'terminate the entire department.'
Mayor Mary Lee Cook of Oak Hill, Florida, said that the marijuana plants narcotics agents found growing near a fence in her yard were placed there by someone looking to damage her reputation.
