MITCHELLVILLE, Iowa —

Mitchellville has named Hezekiah Applegate as interim police chief after a special city council meeting.

Applegate will serve until a permanent chief is found. This follows the resignation of William Daggett last week.

Daggett was named in an audit alleging misspending by some Baxter city leaders when he was chief of police.

Mitchellville has since voted to hire an outside investigator to conduct an audit there.
