An attempt to oust Wheelwright Commissioner Andy Akers from his role overseeing the Wheelwright Police Department at the city’s commission meeting March 20 failed. Commissioner Michael Tackett said when he took office last year, he made a promise to the community that the police department would be better. “Nothing personal Andy; it’s not better,” said Tackett. “Something’s gotta give.” Akers said the city’s drug problem had been addressed. “You’ve got drugs took off the street,” said Akers. “Not all of them.” Akers said he and Police Chief Keith Justice had been working during night hours to address issues in the city.
