For the second time in as many years, a Hope Mills town commissioner is under fire.
The town attorney has confirmed to ABC11 Eyewitness News that he’s looking into allegations that Commissioner Tonzie Collins used the N-word in a reference to the town’s African American police chief.
“In this case I really need to direct all questions to the town manager or the town attorney for any further answers to the allegations,” Hope Mills Police Chief Robert Hassell said.
