Who is Chief Morrison from Killing Floor and what is their importance?

Chief Morrison is chief of police in Margrave, Georgia. Morrison is an overweight and arrogant man. Sweating with exertion, he has thin and dirty hair and a red and gray blotchy complexion. His weight contributes to his high blood pressure and arteries that harden enthusiastically. When Jack Reacher comes through town, he is the perfect scapegoat for murder, and Chief Morrison jumps on it. He is quick to tell Jack right from the beginning that he is guilty and will go to the chair for his complicity. Waddling to the door, he turns the investigation over to Finlay, all the while feeling strangely as though he knows Jack. His comment to that effect is one that Jack remembers later, and it gives him a clue as to Morrison's true involvement.
