Former Humboldt Police Chief Brian Dillow has reached a diversion agreement with prosecutors on domestic battery, battery and criminal damage to property charges he faced following his arrest in June.
Through a diversion, charges against a defendant are dismissed providing the accused meets the terms of the agreement. Dillow must pay court costs totaling $933 and avoid any further legal troubles for the next year.
Dillow was placed on an administrative leave of absence following his arrest.
He subsequently was fired by the Humboldt City Council in August. The Council later rescinded the motion for his termination and subsequently accepted his letter of resignation earlier this month.
A new police chief is being sought. Scott Aikins, a lieutenant with the Humboldt Police Department, has overseen the department since Dillow?s departure.
