The Mayville police chief is under investigation. Police chief Chris MacNeill has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal investigation. Mayville mayor Rob Boelk says MacNeill was placed on leave this week after the city became aware of an allegation involving MacNeill that occurred in 2011. Boelk did not say what the nature of the allegations are. The Watertown Police Department is conducting the investigation. 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.
