Sheriff’s No. 2 resigns in spoof site flap

Bonner County Undersheriff David Hale resigned amid a scandal involving a phony website he set up for Sheriff Daryl Wheeler’s political rival in the May 17 GOP primary. “I have accepted the resignation of David Hale as Undersheriff of Bonner County,” Wheeler said in a news release issued on Thursday. The release contains nothing else. It made no mention of the basis for Hale’s resignation, although it comes seven days after it was revealed that Hale had set up a spoof website in the name of Terry Ford, who’s challenging Wheeler for the Republican nomination for sheriff. Ford’s campaign contends the rudimentary website was designed to make Ford appear amateurish./Keith Kinnaird, Bonner County Daily Bee. More here.
