DAKOTA CITY, Neb. (AP) — The Dakota County Jail administrative director in Nebraska has been placed on leave after county officials say they received a harassment complaint against him.

Sioux City media outlets report Terry Kern was placed on administrative leave Thursday. Kern told the Sioux City Journal the board clarified that the claim was not for sexual harassment, but did not tell him who had filed it.

County Board of Corrections Chairman Tony Gomez said an investigation is underway, but he would not say what type of harassment was alleged or by whom.

Kern said he and his attorney are taking the necessary steps to figure out the situation.
