Rocky Mount formally terminated two town police officers who federal authorities have charged with participating in the Jan. 6 riot inside the U.S. Capitol.

In a statement released Tuesday, Town Manager James Ervin declined to provide further details of the firing of former Sgt. Thomas “T.J.” Robertson and former Officer Jacob Fracker.

“We hear those who have communicated their anger and frustration about the actions of these individuals or our response to those actions,” Ervin wrote. “We have treated the process of review seriously from the beginning and thank those who contributed and in coordinating a response in a quick, objective and lawful manner.”

The town had no precedent to refer to for how to deal with this situation, Ervin wrote. “The events of the past few weeks have been challenging for our town, as they have been for the entire nation. The actions by two have driven our beautiful town into the national spotlight in ways that do not reflect our whole community and the people who call Rocky Mount home.”
