Since the matter did not arise during last night's council meeting, Maplewood Voices asked Police Chief Thomalla for an update on the contract investigation referral. His reply:
I have spoken with MN BCA Superintendent Tim O’Malley regarding this matter. He has referred me to another agency. I have not, as of yet made contact with that agency, I [am] assuming the person to whom I was referred has been out of the office. I am not identifying to whom I was referred without speaking to them first and determining their interest and willingness to look into this matter.
The agency that looks at this will make a determination as to whether this is criminal and what agency would have the most applicable jurisdiction. This will be done independent of whatever an attorney hired by the council examines or decides. The timeline, if an investigation is deemed appropriate will be up to the investigating agency.
