Minneapolis Police Chief Resigns After Interfering With Internal Probe

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara resigned after an outside investigation found he interfered with a probe into his conduct, including deleting a city-issued cellphone contact card to shield evidence linking him to an employee. He denies deleting it, but investigators also found he discussed the investigation after being told not to. Mayor Frey described the interference as a breach of trust and said disciplinary action was forthcoming; Acting Chief Katie Blackwell will lead the department, while the city continues to address 17 other open complaints.
