The Craig Beach Police Chief Kyle Pettus has been reinstated as the leader of the village's new law enforcement.

This comes after he was laid off due to controversy over a Facebook Post made midway through last week. The post cited an uphill battle with certain powers that be.

"We're driving cars that are falling apart, and you're asking council over and over again; 'Can we get this equipment?', 'and it's 'no, no, no, no.", said chief Kyle Pettus.

At the time, Mayor James Becker along with Councilman Jamie Becker acknowledged that there was tension between some council members and the police.

Pettus stated after he was laid off that the police department in Craig beach was "just kind of in limbo right now as a police department."

According to the mayor--police department has been operating in his absence--however Chief Pettus says the department is back in service
