Laura M. Auron, Lake County Attorney (218) 834-8375 & Carey Johnson, Lake County Sheriff (218) 834-8385:
How is that imaginary investigation into Itasca Co. Sheriff Vic Williams' tampering with witnesses in his "girl Friday's" Case No. 31-CR-15-571 State of Minnesota vs Anna Marie Cass coming along, huh? If Itasca Co. Sheriff Vic Williams has plenty of time to respond to a federal lawsuit, then he has had plenty of time to submit to an interrogation by the Lake County Sheriff's dept, right? That's right, isn't it? Oh, I got a kick out of those wild and outrageous claims that you made in your harassing response to my previous Chapter 13 data request, didn't I? All it took was a recorded phone call to your Linda Libal, Auditor/Treasurer (218) 834-8315 to prove that you have made multiple self-incriminating admissions against your interest, right? That's right, isn't it? So stop harassing me! Stop illegally withholding my readily available, free, electronic, public data (in searchable pdf format where applicable) from me! Got it?

Notice: I still do not accept ZixCorp secure emails.
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. Memorandum of Law and Fact in support of State's Motion for Continuance of Jury Trial in Case No. 31-CR-15-571 State of Minnesota vs. Anna Marie Cass. Dated: November 19, 2015.

12/17/2015 Transcript Doc ID# 67
According to the criminal complaint, Cass spoke to a clerical deputy she supervises about some of the deputy’s duties, upsetting her. The clerical deputy then spoke to another supervisor, who saw the deputy was upset and suggested they speak in an interview room. During the conversation, the supervisor noted that he was not the clerical deputy’s supervisor regarding the issues that concerned her that day. The supervisor later learned the conversation had been monitored by Cass. Cass faces two felony charges Posted: Sunday, March 8, 2015 6:00 am by Lisa Rosemore Grand Rapids Herald-Review
The complaint stated that Cass asked another clerical deputy to turn on the monitoring equipment and audio system for the interview room, then asked that clerical deputy to leave. ...The investigation was conducted by the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and is being prosecuted by the Lake County Attorney’s Office. Itasca County Sheriff Vic Williams said in an earlier interview that Cass has been placed on paid administrative leave as of March 6. Defense seeks dismissal of charges for administrative officer Posted: Friday, June 5, 2015 4:57 pm By Lisa Rosemore Herald-Review
The other was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be filed again at a later date, by Lake County prosecutor Lisa Hanson. ... Hanson stated that as a prosecutor, she has a duty to seek justice and “in this case, I believe that duty obligates me to conduct further investigation into the role Sheriff Victor Williams played in the incident that occurred in the Itasca County Sheriff’s Office on Nov. 24, 2014 that led to these charges ... I do not believe justice would be served by continuing to trial without this follow-up investigation.” Charges against sheriff’s administrative officer are dismissed By Lisa Rosemore Herald-Review Nov 25, 2015
Hanson states that as a prosecutor, she has a duty to seek justice. But that she does not believe justice would be served to continue Cass' trial without a follow-up investigation into the role of Sheriff Williams. She said charges can be re-filed later if still appropriate. Charges Against Itasca Co. Sheriff's Dept. Administrator Dismissed Updated: 11/20/2015 10:50 PM Created: 11/20/2015 4:23 PM WDIO.com
Sheriff Vic Williams, Chief Deputy Denise Hirt and Supervisor Albert Morse denied allegations that they made former deputy Troy Ugrich's work environment so miserable he felt he must quit. Ugrich filed a federal lawsuit April 18, saying that after he publicly backed Sheriff Williams' opponent, he was singled-out and targeted. In court documents, the defendants say they "deny retaliating against Plaintiff because of any political speech that he may have engaged in." Response Filed in Lawsuit Against Itasca County Sheriff Baihly Warfield, WDIO Updated: 05/25/2016 10:01 PM Created: 05/25/2016 4:42 PM
The documents also allege the Chief Deputy, Denise Hirt, accused Ugrich of "misuse of county equipment." According to the lawsuit, Ugrich also received a letter from the sheriff in September 2015 that informed him he was being criminally investigated for "theft of public funds involving government property." Ugrich was placed on administrative leave during that investigation, but the Crow Wing County Attorney, who took on the case, couldn't find any "chargeable criminal misconduct." Former Deputy Sues Itasca County Sheriff Baihly Warfield, WDIO Updated: 04/28/2016 8:34 PM Created: 04/28/2016 5:34 PM
A former Itasca County deputy has filed a federal lawsuit against Itasca County, Sheriff Vic Williams, Chief Deputy Denise Hirt and Investigator-Supervisor A.J. Morse. ... In an 18-page response to the complaint, filed Friday afternoon, Jessica Schwie from the law firm of Lardine, Logan and O’Brien, representing the defendants, categorically denied all the allegations. ... “We intend to fully defend this lawsuit, including the frivolous and disingenuous claims made,” Schwie stated.
