Complaints against Boise police chief were reported months ago. What the mayor knew
Boise Mayor Lauren McLean publicly said in September that her “management” discussions about Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee stemmed from new information, appearing to refer to a story published by KTVB that detailed employee allegations against Lee.
Hours later, the city announced McLean asked the chief to resign.
But emails reviewed by the Idaho Statesman showed the mayor was informed of the allegations against Lee at least as early as April.
