Sean Rifenberick will receive $160,000 and full retirement benefits. The city isn't giving a reason for the settlement, but the City Council suspended the chief in March after several complaints. Rifenberick was accused of sexual harassment and misconduct last summer.

Allegations of sexual harassment and a lawsuit against the city's chief of police have divided the department, KSTP says, and several officers went before the City Council to say their boss is unfit for the job. City leaders say they'll review the case.

He commands eight sworn police officers in the Minnesota city.

Jeremy Peterson claims the city broke a long-standing "practice and/or policy" by not allowing him to return to his community service officer position after he didn't complete the requirements of his 12-month probationary period as a police officer, the Post Bulletin reports. He also accuses two members of the Rochester Police Civil Service Commission of violating Minnesota's open meeting law. Peterson is seeking more than $50,000 in damages. He's the son of Police Chief Roger Peterson.

The missing firearms are just one part of a broader investigation into a rash of misconduct allegations involving 15 employees in the sheriff's department. The sheriff is planning a news conference on Monday to report on a year-long investigation into complaints about excessive force, sexual harassment, abuse of authority and policy violations.
