On April 5, 2013, after signing the bill into law, Collier was named to the cabinet position as the Secretary of Law Enforcement. In 2016, Collier was fired and accused of wrongdoing by Governor Bentley for refusing to lie to authorities about an ongoing affair between the then Governor and one of his top political advisors. Collier was exonerated and won a lawsuit against his accusers for an undisclosed amount.[1] He served as the Police Chief in Selma, Alabama from January 2017 to June 2019.[1][2] He was arrested again in 2019.[2]
