Poulan - - City council members fired their police chief Thursday over concerns about a criminal background check she ordered.
There was a crowd outside the meeting to support Chief Angie Schlosser.
"Poulan and the city council made a huge mistake by letting her go," said resident Scott Payne.
Council members say she ran a criminal background check on city Councilman Van Jones, falsely claiming he applied for a job as a police officer.
Checks can only be done as part of a criminal investigation or pre-employment screening. Schlosser says she was just looking into concerns people in town expressed to her about Jones's past.
"I felt like I was done wrong, but its not the end of it and it wont be the end of my career," Schlosser said.
Schlosser is not charged with a crime, but if she were convicted of illegally performing a background check she could face a $5,000 fine and two years in prison.
