Statement from County Attorney Concerning Recent City Council Meeting

January 26, 2017 - I have always tried to work with the City of Center including its Police Department.

Further, none of my comments are directed in any way towards the Mayor or the City Council members.

I did not attend the City Council meeting where an ordinance regarding discharge of firearm, within 5000 feet of the City limits were discussed. I was stunned, however when I read Shelby County Today’s article about this matter.
