Another Gaylord Police Dept. Member On Leave

GAYLORD, Minn. (AP) ― Another member of the Gaylord Police Department is on paid administrative leave in an alleged "bugging" scheme.

The Gaylord City Council has voted unanimously to place Officer Tom Webster on leave until further notice. The move stems from charges filed against Gaylord Police Chief Dale Roiger over allegations that he had Webster plant a recording device in the Gaylord Chamber of Commerce office two years ago.

It allegedly happened in July 2007 when the council was considering contracting with the Sibley County sheriff's office for police services.

No charges have been filed against Webster, but he will be on leave while an internal investigation is completed.

Webster calls the investigation "just a formality."
