TN chief terminated for failure to cover up task force theft?

Was the chief of police in Bradford, Tennessee fired for failing to cover up a drug task force officer's misdeeds?

1. Task force officer steals radio from impounded car.
2. Mayor tells chief it should be handled as an internal matter.
   
3. Police chief lets local sheriff investigate independently.
4. Officer is forced to resign to avoid prosecution.
5. Mayor fires chief for not handling the matter internally.

Sounds like it to me.
