The Former Police Chief Of Richlands Virginia Is Speaking Out After Resigning Earlier This Week. Jerry Gilbert Claims He Was Given Two Options, Quit Or Be Fired. He Says The Reason Stems From Political Gain. Gilbert Said He’s Devastated He Cannot Serve The Community And People He Loves. He Said He Asked What He Did Wrong, And They Said Poor Job Performance, But He Was Never Written Up Or Talked To About His Job. Town Councilman Doug Ratcliff Released A Statement Saying Gilbert Made No Factual Claims And Was Offered His Retirement.
