Port: Sexual harassment probe unearths steroids scandal in Ward County
A promotion, a quiet tip, and a trail that kept being ignored. That’s the backdrop to a troubling story out of Ward County, where a detention officer—later promoted to lieutenant—admitted to years of illegal steroid use and distribution only after a separate harassment complaint triggered an internal investigation. Despite early warnings, including findings during a suicide probe of another officer, those in charge declined to act—until the evidence became undeniable. What followed was a cascade of firings, demotions, and questions that may not be fully answered anytime soon. Rob Port has the full story; this one can be read at Dickinson Press with a Forum Communications subscription.
