COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) -The Columbus Police officer at the center of a video controversy is turning in his badge..
Thursday night, the city announced that Officer Keith Dowd submitted his resignation.
The move came less than half a day after a special meeting of the Police Overview Committee produced a unanimous recommendation that the city council fire Dowd.
This all started after body cam footage showing Officer Dowd questioning a driver and accusing him of smoking marijuana and lying to him was made public.
Dowd’s actions came into question, prompting Thursday’s meeting.
His resignation is effective Monday.
