Selma fire chief resigns over 'hostile work environment'
After nearly four years on the job, Selma Fire Department (SFD) Chief Toney Stephens has resigned citing a “hostile work environment,” according to Selma City Council President Corey Bowie.
Stephens announced his resignation Thursday via a short letter, which stated only the following:
“Effective today, I would like to inform you of my resignation. I would like to be placed on leave time to exhaust my vacation, sick and comp time. I will send you another letter with the exact date of departure.”
For the time being, Chris Graham will serve as Acting Chief of the SFD until the council can decide on a permanent replacement for Stephens.
