Pierz Chief's Resignation Accepted

The Pierz City Council accepted Police Chief Steve Boser's resignation at Monday's meeting and made it effective the date he submitted it, Monday, March 3rd. Boser had been on paid administrative leave since February 19. The council was looking into allegations of misconduct filed against Boser. City Administrator Michael DeRosia told the Brainerd Dispatch that the letter was not a public document and said he would not release it. DeRosia also refused to talk about the allegations and wouldn't say if there was a continuing investigation. Boser was the Chief of Police for nearly 20 years. Former part-time officer Doug Rekstad will serve as interim Chief until a new one is hired.
