A Yellow Springs police officer has resigned from his position. His departure came after an incident over the weekend in which he drew his firearm on a motorist who failed to stop at a hit-skip crash.
Officer Richard Neel resigned from his position Monday after working as a Yellow Springs police officer for about seven months, according to Police Chief Brian Carlson.

Several residents attended Monday night’s village council meeting after hearing reports of Neel drawing his firearm on resident Dr. Timothy Agnes.
According to Carlson, Neel responded to a reported hit-skip crash around 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Dayton and High streets in which Agnes was involved. Agnes “didn’t see police lights” and continued driving to his home, where he pulled into the garage, Carlson said.

Carlson said Neel did not initially know who was in the vehicle and drew his firearm.
“When he saw who the occupant was, he immediately placed it back in his holster,” Carlson said.
Carlson said the officer’s actions “were not within policy” for his department.
