FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa State Patrol supervisor who was disciplined last year for a Facebook joke about killing a sportscaster is on administrative leave. The Iowa Department of Public Safety confirmed Monday that Lt. Kelly Hindman was taken off duty Oct. 26 and remains on paid leave.

Department spokesman Alex Murphy did not offer a reason for the move against Hindman, who was the commander of the patrol’s post in Fort Dodge. He says personnel records are confidential. Hindman drew headlines in January 2015, when he wrote on Facebook that he wanted a sniper to shoot ESPN college basketball announcer Dan Dakich in the head.

After an internal investigation, Hindman kept his supervisory position without a cut to his annual salary, which is now $100,000. He’s been with the patrol 28 years.
