Bronson Campbell
(MSC News)--The Jefferson County community of Valley Falls is in need of a new police chief.
WIBW-TV reports that's because the Valley Falls City Council Wednesday voted three to two to not reappoint Bronson Campbell to the position.
No reasons for the decision were stated at the session.
Two of the three who voted against the reappointment are new members of the council.
It's not known when a new police chief will be hired.
Campbell has been controversial due to two civil rights cases that were brought before him.
According to the Associated Press, in June 2015, Clayton Conser sued, claiming Campbell used excessive force when he used a stun gun on him. Then, in November 2016, Jamie Petitt filed suit alleging Campbell harassed her.
