"I'm just dissatisfied with the way things are and feel like it's the best thing to do." ? Gary Peaden, former chief - al.com: "ELBERTA — An Orange Beach police officer will serve as part-time interim Elberta police chief while Town Council members look for a replacement for the law enforcement director who left this week.

After going into a closed session for about 15 minutes to discuss personnel matters, the Elberta Town Council voted unanimously Tuesday night to hire Joey Brown as a temporary replacement for Gary Peaden. Peaden's last day as chief was Monday after he submitted his resignation two weeks ago. The council also voted to continue advertising the vacancy for another month.

Mayor Marvin Williams said Brown will do a good job until a permanent chief can be hired."
