Grayson Police Chief Mitch Bratton shared the news of his arrest in a post on June 4.
'A few weeks back, I contacted an outside agency to come look into some concerns that I had with a town employee. Today, while cooperating with the State Police Investigators, they charged me with Obstruction of Justice and Malfeasance in Office,' Bratton explained.
'I won't debate the validity of the charge. I wanted to be in full disclosure. This does not affect me being the chief of police and I intend to be as accessible as I always have while I let the criminal justice system work this issue out.

(268,871 posts)6. He has admitted to being a fucking thief and thinks
he should still be chief of police - no wonder there are protests. The Con is a really bad example for everyone.
