Rick Baughman and Prosecutor Bill Douglas during proceedings for killer Joseph Edward Duncan/Jesse Tinsley, SR
More Info: Rick Baughman, the embattled chief deputy prosecutor for Kootenai County, resigned effective today, Prosecutor Bill Douglas told The Spokesman-Review at 3:45 p.m. The news comes after completion of an independent investigation into sexual harassment allegations against Baughman. County Attorney Erika Grubbs and Commissioner Rick Currie confirmed today that the investigation is finished. As the elected official in charge of the prosecutor’s office, Douglas was the one who could decide whether Baughman remained the county’s No. 2 prosecutor. Baughman, who has been on paid leave since Nov. 6, declined to comment when reached at home Wednesday evening. His attorney, John Redal, also declined comment Wednesday — Taryn Brodwater and Erica Curless, Spokesman-Review.
