Chief Dan Hughes – Florence Police Department

Appointed as police chief in 2012, Chief Hughes was accused of retaliating against detectives Walt Hunter and Jarris Varnrobinson after they reported misconduct within the department. The detectives alleged that Hughes targeted them for dismissal as part of a vendetta, leading to lawsuits against the town for wrongful termination. These actions raised concerns about leadership practices and the handling of internal complaints within the department.
