Summary Ferguson mayor says Officer Darren Wilson won't receive severance package as part of his resignation
FERGUSON, Missouri (AP) - The mayor of Ferguson, Missouri, says police Officer Darren Wilson will not receive a severance package as part of his resignation from the police force.
A grand jury on Monday decided not to indict Wilson for killing 18-year-old Michael Brown during an August confrontation, sparking widespread demonstrations.
Mayor James Knowles said Sunday that the St. Louis suburb and Wilson have severed their ties and that Wilson won t receive any further pay or benefits following his resignation Saturday.
Wilson s lawyer says Wilson resigned because threats had been made against other officers and the department because of his continued employment.
