CAVALIER, N.D. (AP) — A former North Dakota county prosecutor who resigned just before a February hearing on whether to remove him from office is seeking a seat on the Pembina County Commission.
The Grand Forks Herald reports Stuart Askew is among five candidates vying in Tuesday's primary for two spots on November's general election ballot. Askew says the county needs a new direction after problems "culminating in the fiasco I went through."
The county commission last year levied a number of allegations against Askew, ranging from failure to perform duties to improper personal behavior. Gov. Jack Dalrymple appointed a retired district judge to hold a hearing in the case after the state crime bureau looked into it and the attorney general's office signed a complaint against Askew. He resigned before that hearing.
