Columbia police chief fired
City of Columbia's police chief Tandy Carter was fired on Monday, after a stand-off with the city council and city manager over an investigation into the mayor-elect's April 21st car wreck. Apparently last month Mayor-elect Steve Benjamin was in an auto accident that critically injured the other driver, Deborah Rubens. When the City Manager and City Council asked Carter to turn the investigation over to another agency, Carter refused until the Attorney General gave him an opinion stating that there was a conflict of interest.
