(CNN)A North Carolina police chief has been placed on unpaid leave and probation for telling officers about a "clinic" that would issue them a Covid-19 vaccination card without actually receiving the shot, local officials said.
T.J. Smith -- the police chief of Oakboro Town, North Carolina -- violated policies including, fraud, willful acts that endanger the property of others and serving a conflicting interest when he allegedly told officers about the scheme, according to a letter addressed to him from Town Administrator Doug Burgess.
The alleged violations stem from "detrimental personal conduct including notifying law enforcement officers to attend a 'clinic' where they would be able to obtain proof of COVID 19 vaccination cards without being vaccinated," the letter said.
The vaccine fraud accusations come as the Omicron variant is spreading rapidly both in the US and worldwide. Full vaccination as well as boosters provide the best protection against the highly contagious variant that has been alarming health officials amid the holiday season.

(53,826 posts)2. Should've already been fired. Not just for the chief advising...
his officers to be dishonest, but for glaring stupidity for thinking that wouldn't get out.
Just dumb. How the hell did he get to be chief?

T.J. Smith lack of these attributes shows me everything I need to know.
However, perhaps the people who he is supposed to "serve and PROTECT" will have something to say about it.
