(Fargo, ND) -- Fargo City Commissioner Dave Piepkorn has been ousted as Deputy Mayor.
Piepkorn was stripped of his title Monday evening, after other members cited "derogatory and abusive" behavior. Commissioners say Piepkorn spoke negatively about Native Americans at a recent meeting and has made other aggressive comments about city issues.
Commissioner Arlette Preston was sworn in as Piepkorn's replacement.
Piekorn remains on the City Commission.
