Alcohol-related incidents kept local police on their toes Monday night with officers intervening to stop an alleged drunk driver and two separate fights.
The incidents kicked off at 10:55 p.m., Dec. 28, after concerned citizens contacted the Gillette Police Department (GPD) to report an intoxicated 39-year-old man was about to drive his vehicle from the Old Chicago parking lot on Boxelder Road, according to GPD Lt. Brent Wasson.
The man was contacted in his running vehicle, but officers permitted him to walk to a nearby hotel after the man stated he was only starting his vehicle because it had oil pump issues, Wasson said Tuesday morning.
Crook County Attorney Joseph Baron will review a fatal officer-involved shooting in Gillette last month.
Deputy Campbell County Attorney Jenny Staeben said at a commission meeting Tuesday that the County Attorneyâs Office is unable to handle the case because it has âconflicted out of it.â
âEither weâve been involved in the prosecution of the deceased or the defense of the deceased,â she said.
At an elected officials meeting at the end of last month, County Attorney Mitch Damsky, whoâd previously worked in the Public Defenderâs Office, said Cody William Amman had been a client of his in the past.
