State Rep. Tony Cornish has announced he's retiring his post as an area police chief.
Cornish, a Republican from Good Thunder, has also been working as police chief for Lake Crystal for the past four years.
He's decided to retire from that position and solely work at the state capitol.
"Nothing suspicious or anything going on. I gave them an option that either I could stay on until the start of session, January 23, or I could stay until the end of session to give them time to look for a new chief. 36 years in law enforcement is getting kind of long in the tooth," said Cornish.
Cornish says he's not running for Blue Earth County Sheriff as rumors have suggested. He says he's looking forward to more free time for hunting.
