Milner Police Force, City Manager Resign as Chief Alleges Tracker on Truck

Q: Who secretly planted a tracker on the police chief's truck, sparking a mass resignation in a small Georgia town?

The person accused of secretly planting the tracker was **Milner Mayor Craig Timmons**. Police Chief Lamar Bunn said the tracking device was placed on his personal truck without authorization and cited that allegation as part of the breakdown in trust that led to his resignation. Additional reporting from WSB-TV and FOX 5 said an officer’s resignation letter specifically alleged that Timmons used his own money to buy the tracker and install it on Bunn’s vehicle. Timmons has not publicly admitted doing so. When asked about the allegation at the city council meeting, he reportedly said he had “no comment.” So while the accusation is directed at the mayor, it remains an allegation rather than a proven finding.

Milner's entire full-time police force and city manager Tausha Grose resigned, leaving the small Georgia town without its full-time department leadership.
Police Chief Lamar Bunn told the city council a tracking device was secretly placed on his truck with personal funds and said false rumors about an affair with Grose were spread.
Resignation letters tied the departures to conflicts with city leadership over legal compliance, ethics and governance, with Captain Craig Walton urging an independent investigation into Mayor Craig Timmons.
Timmons acknowledged the concerns at Monday's meeting and said he hoped the situation could be resolved, while earlier disputes over overtime and off-duty vehicle use were not cited as the cause.
