spyglassValley City (CSi) Allegations have been stated against six Valley City officials by Valley City resident Robert Drake.

Some of the allegations include:

Accusations of City Administrator David Schelkoph not following the proper procedure over a sexual harassment allegation against Police Chief Fred Thompson.

An allegation accuses Police Lieutenant David Swenson of engaging in sexual relations while on duty.

Another accuses City Attorney Russell Myhre of purchasing alcohol to minors under investigation by the state BCI.

An alleged conflict of interest against City Commissioners Matt Pedersen and Duane Magnuson and City Commissioner Mary Lee Nielson, accused of withholding information to city officials about some of these allegations.

Nielson is being accused of being involved in a hateful website that discredited three people running for public office back in 2006 when she was the Mayor of Valley City.

At the same time, four city officials David Schelkoph, Fred Thompson, David Swenson and Russell Myhre have made a request to the Barnes County State’s Attorney to have the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation conduct an investigation to determine if Robert Drake and Valley City Mayor Bob Werkhoven violated a North Dakota Century Code purportedly threatening a Public Servant, with the intent to influence the actions of public officials of Valley City to obtain a favorable decision on the filing of a proposed petition to disband the Valley City police department.

Also requested is that the BCI investigate whether a North Dakota Century Code was violated under Criminal Defamation by publishing a December 7th letter of the accusations by Robert Drake and to see if Mayor Bob Werkhoven participated in the dissemination of the December 7th letter.
