HALLSVILLE — The Hallsville City Council has yet to settle severance packages for Hallsville officers who were let go after the council voted to reinstate the officers who were terminated in late December. Council members met Monday night in a special meeting to discuss personnel matters. According to KETK, Hallsville Mayor Jerri Medrano said the only action taken Monday was for the city\u2019s attorney and the former officers\u2019 attorney to continue discussing severance packages. <\/p>\n
Police Chief Greg Scott, Sgt. Mack Fuller and officer T.C. Livingston were terminated for policy violations Dec. 28, but the council voted 3-2 to reinstate them a few weeks later. After the December firings, the city hired Lukas Reynolds as chief and also hired Sgt. Shane Guthrie, Paul Montoya and Robert Perkins as officers. The city chose to keep Montoya, and Longview attorney Jose Sanchez, who was hired to represent Reynolds, Guthrie and Perkins, said he was working with the city to come up with a resolution that would be fair for everyone involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
