The Red Wing City Council will hold a special meeting this week at the request of former Police Chief Roger Pohlman, who was fired by the council earlier this year. Roger Pohlman has requested a name-clearing hearing and this meeting has been scheduled for that purpose, the council said in issuing the meeting agenda.
Pohlman was fired in February. In a letter, the council told him he was being fired because he repeatedly ignored its directives, failed to respond appropriately to citizen complaints and became defensive when confronted with criticism.

District 11 - St. Cloud area
CO Caleb Silgjord (Sauk Centre) worked a late-night shift monitoring bowfishers in the Sauk Centre station. While standing a short distance away, Silgjord observed an angler shoot a largemouth bass. The group was also found to be in possession of sunfish that had been taken with archery equipment. The group was surprised to see the game warden, to say the least.
Silgjord spent time working with CO Vang during the past week. They followed up on a dumping complaint and addressed ATV violations in the Little Falls station. Other violations addressed included watercraft-registration issues and navigation lights.
