The Metropolitan Council, which oversees Metro Transit, announced on Thursday that former Hennepin County Sheriff Dave Hutchinson has been terminated from his position as a sergeant at Metro Transit Police.
Officials say the termination follows an internal investigation by the Met Council, which found that Hutchinson violated Metro Transit Police Department’s policies when he was arrested for driving while intoxicated and crashing his sheriff’s vehicle in December 2021 and by creating a hostile work environment while serving as sheriff.
Hutchinson went on leave from the Sheriff’s Office starting in May 2022 before returning to work at Metro Transit as a sergeant in January. His elected term in office ended at the end of last year.
