(Radio Iowa) - Webster City Police Chief Shiloh Mork resigned on Wednesday in the wake of an investigation by city officials into allegations about his service.

A few of the allegation include falsifying a summons in a criminal case document, fabricated an FBI investigation and criminal charges involving city administration and engaged in intimidation and isolation of a co-worker through falsified information. Mork was placed on administrative leave on November 18th. He began working with the Webster City Police Department in 2000 as a patrolman, was promoted to sergeant in 2002 and has been police chief since 2014.

Sergeant Eric McKinley has served as acting chief since Mork was put on leave.
