MILLINGTON, Tenn. — Millington Police Chief Frank Tennant has resigned and two officers have been fired.

The resignation comes during a TBI investigation into missing money.

More than $20,000 was found in the home of a man who died of natural causes.

The money was put in a room at the police department.

When the family came to the Millington Police Department, more than $12,000 was missing.

The TBI told WREG they were asked to step in by the District Attorney’s Office in order to figure out where the missing money went.

However, they wouldn’t go into any details like how much money and who it belonged to.

Tennant has only been chief since July of 2014.

The Mayor’s Office released the following statement August 24:

“On August 20th this situation came to light. All proper authorities have been notified and the City of Millington is cooperating fully. This is an active investigation, therefore we have no further comment.”
