With the pending retirement of current police chief John Schueller, the Sleepy Eye City Council has made a decision on his replacement. Current officer Matt Andres will begin duties as interim chief beginning April 1st. Schueller will be hanging up his badge on April 30th after 36 years of service (the past 6 1/2 as chief.)
The city has also hired Sleepy Eye native Shawn Bohnen (son of Missy and Pat “Heavy” Bohnen) to become the new officer, replacing Andres.
