A Superior police captain stepped down after being accused of perjury.
Capt. Chad La Lor signed a voluntary separation agreement with the city of Superior and is no longer an officer with the department, according to Police Chief Charles LaGesse.
The separation comes after La Lor was accused of providing untruthful testimony during a Police and Fire Commission hearing in November.
"Capt. La Lor was a dedicated and talented officer, investigator and administrator with the department," LaGesse said. "While the recent allegations were troublesome, they should in no way diminish the acknowledgment of Capt. La Lor's contributions to law enforcement in the city of Superior."
An investigation into allegations La Lor provided false testimony when he stated he hadn't driven drunk before March 2009 -- when he was involved in a hit-and-run accident -- was conducted by the Washburn County Sheriff's Department.

That investigation is complete and is under review by the Bayfield County District Attorney's Office, LaGesse said. As it remains an open criminal file, the chief said, no further comment would be made at this time.
La Lor was placed on paid administrative leave in January pending the investigation.
