Report: Inver Grove Heights Police Chief On Leave

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – The Inver Grove Heights police chief is reportedly on leave Friday morning.

The Pioneer Press reported Chief Larry Stanger is under investigation after "serious" criminal allegations against him surfaced during a case that his own detectives had been working on with another agency.

The report said the city council discussed the allegations in a closed meeting Monday and agreed to put Stanger on paid leave.

Dakota County Attorney's office is looking into this matter, according to the Pioneer Press. It will then pass it on to another county so there's no conflict of interest.
