Morgan City Police Chief Jim Christy resigned from his post as the city's top law enforcement officer, as of 5 p.m. Wednesday, according to a press release from the mayor's office.
Christy has held the post since April of 2002.
Mayor Tim Matte said that Asst. Chief Marc Folse will assume the reigns until a premanent chief is named. Folse brings 27 years of experience to his interim post, having served all with the Morgan City Police Department.
The Morgan City Police Chief answers to the Mayor of Morgan City, Matte said, and as such, he will be selecting a replacement for Christy, subject to approval by the city council, and from a list of candidates meeting civil service requirements.
In a brief telephone interview yesterday, Matte said that Christy resigned for personal reasons.
"With any change in administration (pause) well let's just say that he resigned for personal reasons," Matte said.
