The mayor of Philadelphia says the police commissioner is resigning over new allegations of sexual harassment and racial and gender discrimination against others in the department.
Mayor Jim Kenney says that Richard Ross has been a terrific asset to the police department and the city and that he's disappointed to lose him.
But Kenney says in a news release Tuesday that in light of the new allegations, Ross' "resignation is in the best interest of the department."
Kenney called Ross the best police commissioner in America just last week after a gunman's long standoff with police.
Kenney has named Deputy Commissioner Christine Coulter as acting commissioner during the search for Ross' replacement.
Details on the allegations against others in the department weren't made available. Ross didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.
The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.
Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.
Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
