West Fork's police chief resigned Friday amid a possible federal investigation into the city government.
John Collins resigned Friday morning, he and Mayor Charlie Rossetti said.
Collins confirmed his resignation Friday morning but said he was too busy at the moment to give an interview. He didn't return multiple phone calls later Friday.
Rossetti said Collins resigned "under good circumstances" and already had another job lined up.
"We had a good working relationship," Rossetti said. "I don't know if he's been thinking about it for a while or not. It was sudden to me. I hate to lose him."
Collins' announcement came about two months after a Washington County deputy prosecutor said the FBI had begun investigating public corruption and environmental complaints against West Fork's government. FBI spokeswoman Deb Green said Friday she couldn't confirm or deny the investigation.
Denis Dean, the deputy prosecutor, didn't return a phone call Friday requesting comment. The possible investigation came after the sewage plant there released raw sewage into the White River last April.
