Minneapolis police chief resigns after scandal over sexual misconduct investigation

A report found that Brian O'Hara probably interfered with investigation in what mayor called a breach of trust'

The Minneapolis police chief, Brian O'Hara, resigned on Tuesday after a report found that he probably interfered with an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct.

O'Hara stepped down after a meeting with the Minnesota city's mayor, Jacob Frey, who earlier this month nominated him to serve a second term after his appointment in 2022 to steady a police department still in turmoil after the murder of George Floyd two years earlier.
