The Mayville police chief is under investigation. Police chief Chris MacNeill has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation. A press release says the Watertown Police Department is conducting the investigation, but did not say what the nature of the allegations are. MacNeill has been the police chief since 2011 and has worked in the department since 2000. Mayville police captain Ryan Vossekuil has assumed the chief’s responsibilities during MacNeill’s absence.
