The Boise police chief is under investigation and the city is facing a tort claim from a high-ranking officer who said his neck was broken when the chief tried to demonstrate an unconventional hold during a meeting.
The tort claim, first reported by the Idaho Press, was filed April 5 against the city and Boise Police Chief Ryan Lee alleging Lee "caused serious and significant injuries" to Sgt. Kirk Rush.
Under Idaho law, a person who wishes to sue a government agency must first file a tort claim and give the agency a chance to respond.
