Georgia police chief announces retirement days after young cop resigns over religious post about gay marriage
Fox News
The police chief of the Port Wentworth Police Department in Georgia announced his retirement, days after Jacob Kersey received national news coverage for his resignation.
The Daily Signal reported that the outlet first said he had resigned but changed its headline to indicate he retired. There was no indication the abrupt announcement was related to the officer's resignation days earlier, and the ex-chief's retirement lists no specific reason for the decision.

I wish the City and the department well and I am thankful for all the opportunities I was afforded during my career."
