A Stearns County judge has overturned a jury verdict that awarded Cold Spring-Richmond police chief candidate Eric Johnson $76,966 after Cold Spring offered him the job, then rescinded the offer. Judge John Scherer ruled that, while there was evidence to support the jury’s finding, the legal analysis of the promissory estoppel claim at issue supports the city rather than Johnson. This means Johnson won’t get the money the jury awarded him after a trial in August.
