A Brooklet police officer resigned in November after a passionate disagreement with his police chief over an incident involving the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Department. Shawn Rhyan Berry’s resignation came after reprimands from Brooklet Police Chief Doug Meyer for what he called “insubordination and conduct unbecoming of an officer.” The issue began in September after Meyer complained about Bulloch County Sheriff’s deputies “speeding” through Brooklet on the way to an emergency call, where EMT’s requested help with traffic as they responded to a wreck on a blind curve.
