The profanity-laced encounter was captured on body camera video.

Pequot Lakes police said Nisswa Mayor Fred Heidmann approached officers who were conducting a traffic stop of another vehicle Saturday night on Highway 371 between Baxter and Pequot Lakes. Heidmann left but later returned after the traffic stop had ended.
