While the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department was rocked with scandal, so was Fletcher’s Police Department. Former Chief Langdon Raymond resigned in July due to allegations of inappropriate behavior toward employees who were eventually fired.

If the people of Fletcher weren’t so neighborly, one might have been worried.
