The city of Colstrip fired its police chief after a
female employee complained he invited her to view pornography on a city
computer.
Mayor Rose Hanser announced the firing of Larry
Reinlasoder at a city council meeting on Tuesday.
Hanser and City Attorney Gary Ryder told The Billings
Gazette ( http://bit.ly/KyjcJy)
that Reinlasoder's employment was terminated for several reasons, including
making large purchases without council approval and using the city's Internet
connection to transmit pornographic materials.
Reinlasoder's attorney, Bill D'Alton of Billings, said
earlier Tuesday that neither he nor Reinlasoder would comment on the
termination.
Reinlasoder worked for the Billings Police Department for
20 years before retiring in 2001, a day before he was to be fired for using
city resources to benefit his private business
