The former police chief in Laurie is accusing city officials of conspiring to get rid of him earlier this year.
Mark Black says he was put on suspension, with pay, in May while he and former assistant police chief Angela Nickerson were investigated.
Nickerson was fired, but Black says he was retained with new conditions.

KRMS News asked Laurie mayor Alan Kimberling about the investigation that resulted in Black being retained, but Nickerson being fired.
Kimberling says the city has an interim police chief right now, but that could become permanent after the retirement of former police chief Mark Black.
Black tells KRMS News the investigation was pushed by current interim police chief Mike Nienhuis.
Black will be interviewed by Kevin Burns and Christian Blood at 9:30AM on the KRMS ‘Morning Magazine.’
