Mr. Elg moved in January 2013 to Jensen, Fl to become the Chief of Police of the city. When he moved, most of his paper records were discarded. Mr. Elg has served 30 years in law enforcement and 25 years in the U.S. Armed Forces. Mr. Elg appears to admit to receiving the April 7th notice of delinquency; however, he states he was out of town and did not return until a week later. He states that he tried contacting someone to discuss but that it took another week to speak with someone.
