The blank KKK application was spotted by a prospective homebuyer touring former officer Charles Anderson's house in early August.

Michigan's Muskegon Police Department has terminated officer Charles Anderson following the discovery of white supremacist memorabilia in his home.

According to The Muskegon Chronicle, an internal investigation was launched when Rob Mathis, a black 52-year-old veteran touring homes in the neighborhood with his real estate agent, posted a photo of a framed KKK application proudly being displayed on the wall of Anderson's home. Mathis noted that there was also a giant Confederate flag in Anderson's home, which he described as "the most racist home I’ve ever been in in my life” to The New York Times.

The officer's firing was announced Friday by city manager, Frank Peterson, who promised a full report on the inquiry would be delivered at some point next week. Anderson, who had been with the Muskegon Police Department for over two decades, has yet to offer comment. But his termination has renewed speculation over a 2009 incident in which he shot and killed Julius Johnson, an unarmed black man. County prosecutor, D.J. Hilson, told the Muskegon Chronicle he'd consider revisiting the case once the internal investigation's full report has been published.
