The controversial former top cop of Hennepin County is now collecting a paycheck from a different department.

Dave Hutchinson was reinstated to his prior job with Metro Transit Police, and not everyone's happy about it.

Before he was elected sheriff in 2018, Hutchinson was a sergeant with MTPD. WCCO has learned that a state statute forced the department to give him that same job back once his term ended.
