The deputy police chief in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, will be charged with two counts of disreputable conduct for lying about the death of a 17-year-old Native teen.

Dan Wiks admitted he gave misinformation to the media about Neil Stonechild's death in 1990. He has been on administrative leave since March and will be subjected to a public hearing for the misconduct charges.

Stonechild was found on the outskirts of town frozen to death. Witnesses say he was last seen in the custody of police. The police admit they were looking for him the night he went missing.
