MINNEAPOLIS: "Less than three weeks after Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he deserved another four-year term, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara will no longer serve as the head of the police department. Calling it an "extremely difficult" announcement, Mayor Frey said at a press conference on Tuesday night that last year his office received an anonymous complaint that the chief had engaged in sexual relationships with city employees. An outside investigation was conducted, with the allegations against O'Hara being cleared at its conclusion. However, a subsequent report from an additional investigation showed O’Hara had interfered with the process, accusing him of deleting a contact in his city-issued cellphone that was then hidden from investigators in an attempt to "shield himself."

Frey said that although the initial allegations were proven false, the interference in the process was a 'breach of trust."

His office has since accepted a resignation from O'Hara after he had been informed he would face discipline, which included the potential of being discharged, Frey said.

Frey said on Tuesday that in the interim, Assistant Minneapolis Police Chief Katie Blackwell would step into the role."
