Cleveland, Tennessee, Police Chief Wes Snyder
CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Police Chief Wes Snyder said Saturday that he thought two city officials told him he could withdraw his intention to retire, but they say that is not quite correct.
Snyder contacted the Chattanooga Times Free Press following a story in Saturday’s edition stating that he had asked to withdraw his Jan. 5 retirement and stay on as chief and that City Manager Janice Casteel had refused the request.
“I just find it a little strange that I am not allowed to withdraw my resignation even though I have not violated any city policies to the best of my knowledge,” Snyder said. “This was a personal matter between me and my family and I acted under a great amount of stress and anxiety.”
