Holcomb Police Chief resigns

Holcomb, KS(westernkansasnews.com) Holcomb Police Chief Tony Forsen has resigned. The Holcomb City Council accepted his resignation Wednesday night.

Forsen resigns two months after it was revealed that he provided false information about a DUI accident he was a passenger in to Finney County officers on June 16, 2017.

According to the Garden City Telegram, the Finney County Attorney’s Office filed a misdemeanor charge of interference with a law enforcement officer against Forsen, and he ultimately reached a diversion agreement.

Forsen had been with Holcomb police since 2000 and had been chief since 2011.
