According to KETK and the Jacksonville Daily Progress, Jacksonville Police Chief Reece Daniel said Cunningham was fired a day earlier after he is alleged to have made threats against another doctor of Middle Eastern descent. \u201cThe report says he thought the other doctor was happy about 9\/11 and the Boston bombings and he didn\u2019t like it,\u201d Daniel said. \u201c \u2026 We are charging him with public intoxication and making terroristic threats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to his TMB profile, Cunningham was convicted of Driving While Intoxicated in Tyler in November 2001.
