FORT THOMAS — Sgt. Foy Razor, scheduled to go on trial next month on a felony charge of tampering with evidence, has resigned from the Fort Thomas Police Department.
Mr. Razor submitted his letter of resignation to the city on Tuesday.He had been suspended without pay since Feb. 18 as the result of administrative charges filed against him by Police Chief Steve Schmidt.
Mr. Razor, 48, is a 13-year veteran of the Fort Thomas department and previously worked for other police agencies. His resignation was seen as a prelude to retirement from police work.
On Jan. 10, he and his 26-year-old son, Bryan, were involved in an altercation inside Captain's Cove Lounge at Fifth and Monmouth streets in Newport. After being ejected from the lounge, several people, including the Razors, got into a fight on Fifth Street.
Witnesses said Bryan Razor got a pistol from his father's car and fired a shot in the air. Foy Razor then allegedly took the pistol from his son and placed it in the trunk of his unmarked police car before driving from the scene. He was pulled over a few blocks away by Newport police, who found the gun in the trunk.
Bryan Razor entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor charge of wanton endangerment in May and received a sentence of two years probation and a $500 fine.
Foy Razor was scheduled for an administrative hearing on charges leveled by the city for alleged dishonesty and other violations of his office. His resignation eliminates the need for that hearing, according to Fort Thomas city administrative officer Jeff Earlywine.
He is scheduled for trial in Campbell Circuit Court on Sept. 20.
