Welcome to wild and wacky Godley, Texas, which derives its name not from the Almighty, but from a lumber merchant who donated eight acres for its future site in 1886. “It’s like Parks and Rec, but for real, and less funny.”

At the same time, Thompson submitted a list of more than a dozen major items to be brought before the council: an asset inventory, budget lines, employee qualifications, staff salaries, expenses, gifts received by city officials. And she had the votes to pass them. When Thompson turned into her regular parking spot on Feb. 7 to attend the meeting, a police car was standing with the motor running.
Thompson recalls that the handcuffs were very tight as she sat in the back of the police car. The male officer gave her the Miranda rights.The female officer then gave Thompson just a glimpse of a piece of paper.The officer pulled it away before Thompson was able to read the charges. Thompson did catch the name of the officer who had sworn to the allegations. It was Jeremy Arbuthnot, the cop who had reported being body shamed by Chief Jordan.
After alleging instances of Jordan’s “racist animus” towards Omotoya, the letter recounted a subsequent encounter between the officer and Thompson. The letter described her as “berating” Omotoya for having filed the complaint against Jordan and for “colluding” with other cops against the chief. It noted that Thompson had filed a complaint against Omotoya for threatening her and attempting to sway her vote—the same allegations she had made against Arbuthnot.
A mugshot of her in a striped jail uniform went on Facebook when she was still in custody and triggered an outpouring of support.At one point in Tuesday's hearing, a woman named Kayla Lain called out to McGehee that he should arrange to have the charges against Thompson dropped. The mayor insisted that he had nothing to do with it. He said the case has been brought by the Jefferson County Attorney.
