GALION— The abrupt resignation of Galion City Councilwoman Melissa Frank-Elwell was briefly addressed at the Galion City Council Meeting on Tuesday evening.
Although public records requests made to the city by Crawford County Now were unanswered, a copy of the brief email was obtained. It reads:
“Please accept my resignation from City Council for the city of Galion, Ward 2.
I can no longer support the city of Galion due to the trauma I’ve been through with the Galion Police Department. I do not feel safe here.”

Crawford County Now reached out to newly appointed Police Chief Ryan Strange for comment but received no response.
Efforts to reach Elwell have been unsuccessful.
