barnescourthValley City (CSi) A grievance hearing in Barnes County, the Truck Regulator Officer for Barnes, LaMoure, Griggs and Stutsman Counties Tim Gillespie, centered on a letter of reprimand and the removal of Gillespie’s peace officer’s license by Barnes County Sheriff Randy McClaflin.

Barnes County States Attorney Carl Martineck told reporters that no charges are pending against Gillespie in this case, not providing other details about the case.

Metcalf says the Grievance Committee will recommend the return of Gillespie’s peace officer license and that his reprimand be stricken from the record because procedures were not followed correctly during the reprimand process.

The Barnes County Commission will follow up on the Grievance Committee recommendations at the next Commission meeting on July 7, 2015.

Gillespie’s attorney Joe Larson was unavailable for comment.
