Underpopulated, overpoliced Texas town leads to police chief termination
The town of 250 people had 50 police officers.
Now, locals are showing up at city hall to have their tickets dismissed due to over policing.
“There’s not much to Coffee City, Texas,” KHOU 11 reporter Jeremy Rogalski wrote last month. “Two liquor stores, a couple of dollar stores, a pizza joint, and a motel. But this town, which is three hours north of Houston, has quite a reputation among those who drive through.”
The news outlet reported the 50 officers employed in the sleepy town earned the city more than $1 million in fines in 2022 with over 5,100 citations. moar
