SUPERIOR, Wis. (AP) — The former mayor of both Superior and Duluth, Minnesota, has been booked into the Douglas County Jail on a possible probation violation.

The jail roster shows 63-year-old Herbert Bergson was booked into the jail Nov. 12.

Bergson was sentenced late last year to one year of supervision after crashing his car and leaving the scene of the accident. The crash happened in February 2018.

KBJR-TV reports it is not clear how he violated his probation.

Bergson was mayor of Duluth from 2004 to 2008 and mayor of Superior from 1987 to 1995.
