(Fargo, ND) -- The Fargo Police Department and Police Chief Dave Zibolski are facing pressure from the city's Oversight and Advisory Board.

Tensions ran high at Thursday's board meeting, as members expressed concerns about accountability in the department. The board discussed findings of an internal investigation that found no wrongdoing in a July officer-involved shooting, while also discussing the recent decision for no charges or wrongdoing found in a similar incident in Mapleton.

Fargo Police, North Dakota BCI and Attorney General Drew Wrigley cleared officer Adam O'Brien in the shooting that killed Shane Netterville back in July.

Board members took issue with the findings and will vote on an external investigation at the next meeting.
