ND: WI Sheriff Deputy Called In to Police #NoDAPL Arrested After Passing Out in His Car

HeadlineOct 19, 2016

In North Dakota, a Wisconsin sheriff’s deputy has been arrested after being found passed out from intoxication in his car. 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.
