The rift between Police Chief Burt McAlpin and Town Manager Ed Kilpatrick has Sneads residents taking sides.
Council members are trying to decide if they should place McAlpin on administrative leave while the Florida Department of Law Enforcement completes an official misconduct investigation.
A number of residents showed up at the Sneads Town Council meeting Tuesday night in support of McAlpin.
But both men were interested in clearing up some misunderstandings today.

A cloud of controversy still hangs over Sneads Town Hall, after a heated council meeting Tuesday night.
Police Chief Burt McAlpin and Town Manager Ed Kilpatrick are at the heart of the issue.
"I've tried to be professional throughout this and will continue to be professional. I always have been, always will be," says Kilpatrick.
The situation involves a 2007 sexual molestation case where McAlpin was accused of mishandling the investigation.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not file any criminal charges against him but an administrative complaint is still pending on it.
On September 29th, Council President Mike Weeks read a letter allegedly sent from the Florida League of Cities.
It supposedly recommended they put McAlpin on administrative leave because of the complaint.
But at Tuesday night's meeting, Town Attorney Guy Green said no one at the League ever said that.
"Well, nobody ever said they sent a letter."
Kilpatrick now says the League only gave him "affirmative responses" to his concerns.
"By affirmative response, that's essentially what I mean, 'is this a good idea?' 'Yes, this is a good idea. This is a routine accepted practice.'"
Kilpatrick says Weeks was actually reading some of his own handwritten notes, which was mistaken to be a letter.
He also stands by his accusation that McAlpin created a hostile work environment but wouldn't explain it.
"There's no way to know it but to experience it. There's not any exact examples that I'd prefer to use at this time."
Throughout the whole situation, Burt McAlpin has maintained his innocence.
"I deny any wrongdoing, I've done no wrong."
He says the controversy has not only affected him, but his family.
"We've got a good name in this community, we've got a lot of friends, this is our home. My mother worked at City Hall for probably 30 years, I was raised off this town."
Both town leaders say they have no hard feelings towards each other, and believe the whole truth will eventually come out.
"I know in my heart I will be exonerated because I have done no wrong."

The next town council meeting will be on November 10th.
