Deputy Ryan Fowler had been dispatched to North Dakota along with dozens of other Wisconsin sheriff’s deputies at the request of North Dakota’s Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, who requested the assistance of hundreds of out-of-state deputies amid an ongoing crackdown against the resistance to the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Deputy Fowler now faces charges and has been put on paid leave.
