P.S. You aren't attempting to run out the statue of limitations on good oi' boy Itasca County Sheriff Vic William's witness tampering case, are you?


On November 16, 2015, while preparing for trial in the above matter, the State became aware of new information regarding the role of Itasca County Sheriff Victor Williams may have played in the incident that led to charges in the case. This information was contained within hundreds of pages of transcript from an internal investigation provided by the defense. Specifically, Sheriff Williams made statements that are self-incriminating in nature. Further Sheriff Williams allegedly made admissions against his interest to at least two other people. The scope of the internal investigation was limited to whether the defendant and Chief Deputy Hirt committed misconduct. Accordingly, it appears from the investigative report generated as a result of the internal investigation that the self-incriminating statements allegedly made by Sheriff Williams were never followed up on. In an attempt to verify that fact, the State requested a copy of Sheriff Williams statement from the internal investigation from the defense. The State was told that defense counsel did not believe a statement have been taken from Sheriff Williams. It also appears from the investigative report that the witnesses Sheriff Williams allegedly made admissions against his interest to were not interviewed.  This new information, especially when considered in the context of what can reasonably be characterized as multiple ongoing attempts by Sheriff Williams to steer and influence the outcome of the independent criminal investigation into this incident by an outside agency, causes the State great concern. ... The prosecutor, as an officer of the court, and with the duty to seek justice, has an obligation to further investigate the role of Sheriff Victor Williams played in the incident that occurred in the Itasca County Sheriff's office on November 24, 2014 that led to these charges.

When he discovered that sheriff's administrator Anna Cass had monitored the meeting using audio-visual equipment in the office, documents say Bliss filed a complaint with Human Resources. That launched a criminal investigation into the department where charges against Cass were eventually dropped. But, according to the arbitrator, the incident became central to the deputy's eventual termination. Documents say that in May 2015, Sheriff Vic Williams placed Deputy Bliss on administrative leave saying he was "taking the action due to the turmoil going on in the office." Later, in December of 2015, documents say, the sheriff terminated Bliss citing thirteen instances of misconduct. Arbitrator rules against Itasca County Sheriff's Department By Heidi Enninga, WDIO-TV by Duluth News Tribune and Forum Communications Company on Sep 16, 2016 at 8:00 a.m.


Ugrich claims in the lawsuit that he felt he had to resign because he was "singled-out and targeted" for publicly backing a deputy who was running against Sheriff Vic Williams in 2014. The documents say Ugrich "served as a de facto campaign manager" and it was "widely known in the community" that Ugrich was supporting Deputy Bryan Johnson's candidacy.

Authorities were alerted to concerns about Johnson — an Itasca County deputy who ran unsuccessfully for sheriff in 2014 — by a local school official. ... Johnson allegedly gave several explanations for the discrepancy — that on one date there were substitute teachers and on another he was investigating a fatal crash  — but school records showed there were no substitutes, and on one occasion, Johnson was actually in Minneapolis, according to the complaint.
