North-central Iowa police chief cleared of charges in domestic case

(Radio Iowa) – The interim police chief of Eagle Grove was found -not- guilty on Wednesday of charges including solicitation of a felony and child endangerment. Forty-seven-year-old Mark Hennigar was arrested last December 4th in Garner after court documents indicate it was a domestic incident.

Court documents stated that an officer responded to an argument in the home between two people and the officer called Hennigar. The documents stated that he allegedly made a comment telling one of the people involved to stab the other.

A trial was held this week in Hancock County District Court in Garner. Both of the charges filed against Hennigar were dismissed.
