A note?

Some legal problems in 2019.

The French Settlement police chief is now a convicted felon after he pleaded no contest to malfeasance in office Friday, resolving a case that has effectively ended his decades-long law enforcement career in the village.

Harry Brignac was arrested twice on malfeasance in office last fall, first on accusations he was using public funds to buy gas for his personal vehicle and later because authorities said he directed his wife to drive his marked police unit even though she had a suspended license.

He resigned from the elected position of police chief in October following his second arrest.

So a suicide note and the possibility of self harm?
