SNYDER, Okla. — The police chief, the mayor and a councilman in this small town resigned yesterday amid an uproar over nude photos of the chief's 300-pound, tattooed wife that she posted on a Web site.
Dozens of residents of the town of 1,500 had demanded Police Chief Tod Ozmun resign, and the district attorney recommended an obscenity investigation, but the City Council decided last week that the pictures were protected by the First Amendment.
Some of the pictures show her with an American flag draped off her shoulder.
The police chief defended his wife, saying, "People in this country do what she does on a daily basis."
He said he has had long discussions with his wife about the photos but does not tell her what to do.
"My wife is 6-foot-3 and weighs 300 pounds," said Ozmun, who became chief in January 2005. "If there is somebody that thinks they can control her, have at it. I have tried for 11 years and haven't been able to."
