PIERZ POLICE CHIEF RESIGNS

Pierz Police Chief Steve Boser resigned Monday from his 20-year job as the head of the police department. He was the only full-time employee and supervised four part-time officers. The Pierz City Council had planned to talk about allegations of misconduct filed against Boser Monday night in closed session. Chief Boser had been placed on administrative leave two weeks ago. The Morrison County Sheriff's Department will help patrol the streets of Pierz until a new chief can be hired. Pierz Mayor Toby Egan said neither the details of the council’s investigation nor the allegations against the chief will be made public.
