A police chief and an officer in an eastern Oklahoma town have resigned, citing pushback they say they faced after the recent arrest of a city councilor's son.
Vian Officer Lindsey Green and Police Chief Ted Johnson resigned this week.
Johnson says he and Green weren't told they'd be fired, but he feared they might be for going against the council "like I did."
Green arrested Joshua Smith on May 2 for driving without a license after confirming his license had been revoked. Smith was released 45 minutes later.
City Attorney Larry Vickers tells The Associated Press that Green didn't have probable cause to pull Smith over.
Johnson says driving without a license is standard grounds for arrest.
