FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- The wife of former Fargo Police Chief Keith Ternes has resigned from the department.
Police Chief Dave Todd has accepted the resignation of detective Paula Ternes. Her last day on the job is Friday. Ternes, assigned to the crimes against children unit, joined the department in January 1991.
Her husband resigned as police chief in November as a special committee was looking into low morale and other management issues. He'd been with Fargo police for 28 years, the last 8 and-a-half years as chief.
