Former Red Boiling Springs Assistant Police Chief Kimball Hall has responded to allegations of wrong-doing brought against him by RBS Mayor Kenneth Hollis.
Hall told the Times he didn’t do anything wrong.
At last Thursday’s City Council meeting, Hollis informed the council that he asked for and received Hall’s resignation. Furthermore, Hollis said Hall was being investigated by the City and possibly by an outside agency for an unspecified reason.
Lt. Doug McDonald was promoted to Hall’s old position during the meeting.
Speaking to the Times on Monday afternoon, Hall denied doing anything wrong.
“I don’t know what I could be investigated for,” Hall said. “I’ve been down there six months. I worked for the sheriff’s department for 15 years and never even had a conversation with anybody about anything. And now, all of the sudden, I’m supposedly being investigated? They’re questioning my integrity as an officer and, quite frankly, it’s a bunch of bull crap.
“I don’t see the reason for it whatsoever, because I haven’t ever done anything to be investigated for.”
According to Hall, RBS Police Chief Terry Tuck called him Thursday and asked him to come to City Hall. According to Hall, Tuck told Hall that he and Hollis needed to talk to Hall for a few minutes.
Once there, at 3:10 p.m., Hall said he was told that he was “setting him (Tuck) and Mayor Hollis up.”
“I couldn’t figure out what they were talking about,” Hall said. “That’s when Mayor Hollis said, ‘I’ll accept your resignation now, or I’ll have you terminated at the council meeting tonight.’”
Hall resigned at that point, and the City Council meeting started a few hours later, at 7 p.m.
