Former UND Cop Sues Over Retaliation

A former UND police lieutenant and his attorney wife are suing the university, county, and a sheriff’s official over whistleblower retaliation, defamation, and breach of contract — claiming they were targeted after exposing alleged misuse of training funds. The case spiraled when he was placed on a Brady-Giglio list, effectively ending his career, though state’s attorney later denied that characterization in a recorded call. The dispute ties to a child protection investigation involving their infant son, during which he was served court papers and later accused of giving false testimony — accusations that vanished once the matter was resolved. Despite a clean slate from the Peace Officer Standards Board after a polygraph and hearing, the suit argues UND violated his resignation agreement by denying him voluntary resignation status. Four claims seek damages, back pay, and reinstatement — and all defendants have been served but haven’t responded yet. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
