Lee and his department received criticism for not apprehending volunteer George Zimmerman after the February 26 incident, after which Martin died. Following the Sanford City Commission voting 3-2 that it didn&#8217;t have confidence in how Lee handled the case, Police Capt. Scott O&#8217;Connor has stepped up to run the department until an interim chief is appointed.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioners Patty Mahany and Randy Jones are supporting Lee, who took the job of police chief last May. Jones said he wouldn&#8217;t &#8220;want to see someone tried in the court of public opinion without all the facts.&#8221; While Mayor Jeff Triplett also supports the chief, he voted against Lee. &#8220;We only have a very small piece of the puzzle right now,&#8221; Triplett said.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioners can&#8217;t fire Lee, so he is reporting to City Manager Norton Bonaparte, Jr. However, Velma Williams, the city&#8217;s only black commissioner, said that if Bonaparte doesn&#8217;t fire Lee, she would review his contract the next time it&#8217;s up for renewal. But the city manager said he wants to wait for the Department of Justice and the Brevard-Seminole State Attorney&#8217;s Office to finish their investigation before he makes any decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Written by: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/movie-reviews-in-new-york\/karen-benardello\">Karen Benardello<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bill-Lee-Police-Chief.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bill-Lee-Police-Chief.jpg\" alt=\"Bill Lee, Police Chief\" title=\"Bill Lee, Police Chief\" width=\"500\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-88931\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bill-Lee-Police-Chief.jpg 628w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bill-Lee-Police-Chief-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Lee, the Sanford, Florida police chief criticized for not arresting a neighborhood watch volunteer after the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, has temporarily stepped down, MSNBC is reporting.
