GRAND FORKS — The federal prosecutor in Fargo targeting drug cases that killed three people in the Red River Valley this summer was named the most outstanding drug prosecutor in seven states Thursday.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Myers is the year’s Outstanding Prosecutor for the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area program’s Midwest office.

The HIDTA-funded Grand Forks regional drug task force nominated him for the award, according to his boss, Tim Purdon, the U.S. attorney for North Dakota.

“Chris is simply the best and most well-regarded drug crime prosecutor in North Dakota,” Purdon said.

HIDTA, a White House program, funds multi-agency drug crime fighting, including the Grand Forks regional drug task force. Its Midwest office covers the Dakotas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri.
