Minneapolis police chief resigns after probe finds interference with inquiry

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned after Mayor Frey disciplined him for likely interfering with an investigation into alleged sexual relations with city staff; the independent probe could not substantiate the sexual-relations allegations but found he likely deleted a witness contact and discussed the probe against explicit orders. Assistant Chief Katie Blackwell will become acting chief; a renomination hearing had been planned, with council critics noting reform progress and budgeting concerns.
