— A Yellow Springs police officer has resigned from his position. His departure came after an incident over the weekend in which he drew his firearm on a motorist who failed to stop at a hit-skip crash.
Officer Richard Neel resigned from his position Monday after working as a Yellow Springs police officer for about seven months, according to Police Chief Brian Carlson.
According to Carlson, Neel responded to a reported hit-skip crash around 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Dayton and High streets in which Agnes was involved. Agnes “didn’t see police lights” and continued driving to his home, where he pulled into the garage, Carlson said.
Carlson said Neel did not initially know who was in the vehicle and drew his firearm.
“When he saw who the occupant was, he immediately placed it back in his holster,” Carlson said.
Carlson said the officer’s actions “were not within policy” for his department.
So, who is Dr. Tom Agna that he should get a pass on a hit and run and failing to pull over?

Samuel Adams wrote:If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
