In May 2022, former Brookside Police Chief Michael Ryan Jones was arrested in Covington County for impersonating a peace officer. During an April 12, 2022, traffic stop, Jones, who had resigned from Brookside PD in January 2022, presented a police badge to avoid a speeding ticket. He pleaded guilty to impersonating a public servant, received a three-month jail sentence, and was barred from serving as a peace officer in Alabama.
