(Fargo, ND)  --  A former Fargo police officer is being allowed to resign in a deal with the city.

The city commission voted Monday evening to accept Justin Nachatilo's resignation. The 19-year veteran of the department had been appealing his termination, which he believed was politically motivated.

Nachatilo was fired in December after an internal review found he mishandled two cases.
