Update: Marlin police detective fired after controversial rant about SNAP beneficiaries
A Marlin police detective who posted a controversial rant on his Facebook page was fired Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
Detective Rob Douglas had been on administrative leave since Monday, after Marlin officials learned of the post during the weekend.
The post on Douglas’ Facebook page discussed his frustration with seeing people at the grocery store who receive public assistance or food stamps, but who may have tattoos or expensive tire rims on their vehicles.
“I promise, if I ever snap and go on a killing spree, it will be in a supermarket on the first,” the rant concluded.
