I think this guy (soul-sucking registration required) is a little too tightly wound to be a marshal.

Town Marshal Ron White was fired for pointing a gun at a man who had written a rude statement on a check and then refusing to attend a psychological evaluation, according to city records.

The records detail the May 28 incident, in which White, 42, drew and pointed his weapon at Michael Vincent Boland about 8:50 a.m. in the parking lot of the Westlake town campus.

White’s tenure as town marshal began April 1, 2002, and ended June 14, when he was fired by the town’s Board of Aldermen during a meeting he did not attend. He had been suspended with pay on June 4 by Town Manager Trent Petty.

It would appear that this wasn’t his first problem.

But White’s problems on the job began before May. Town records show that he was warned about controlling his temper in his 2002-03 performance review.

“If another loud and combatant verbal confrontation occurs between you and a co-worker, this will be grounds for immediate termination,” the review states.

In March, White failed his 2003-04 performance review and was put on probation for six weeks. He was given a “passing” rating May 14.

White claimed that when the man started his car that he was in fear that he would be hit with the car.  However, Keller police were called in to investigate the incident, and their report is particularly damning.

White “did not have a legal reason to detain the complainant,” Keller police Lt. Rex L. Phelps wrote to Chief Mark Hafner in a memo summarizing the investigation. “He clearly showed poor judgment and did not control his own emotions to the level expected of a professional law enforcement officer.”
