The Wyoming Supreme Court (WSC) issued a ruling today (032812) regarding the case of former Laramie County Deputy Sheriff Ken Cook. Read the whole decision on the Wyoming Supreme Court web page. Look under Supreme Court Decisions.
WSC:
"We agree with the district court that the record does not substantiate the sheriff's findings that there was sufficient cause to terminate Deputy Cook's employment with the sheriff's office.
We therefore, affirm the district court's reversal of the sheriff's decision."
Slam (by Judge Fenn) and dunk (by the WSC), the judicial system got it right. Of course Ddg suspects the local "media" will ignore and/or bury this story from the voters.
Okay, now let's see how much this illegal firing will cost the tax payers of Laramie County for retaining and promoting staff incapable of handling a simple personnel problem, and for re-electing a sheriff who doesn't recognize the weaknesses of his own staff. Cook should collect every cent that he can on this one.

R. I. P. Sgt. Leonard Crozier (Sam 5)-Cheyenne Police Department Retired
We lost a true hero this week. Leonard Crozier left us on Monday March 19th, 2012.
Leonard was a Cheyenne Police Officer who was later promoted to sergeant.
For those of you that had the honor and privilege to know and work with Leonard, no further words are necessary.
For those of you that never knew or worked with this amazing person, Ddg cannot adequately express the great person that Leonard was, both within and outside of the law enforcement profession.
Suffice it to say that Leonard looked a lot scarier that he was. Leonard had advice to give and was a mentor to many of the police officers and deputy sheriffs over the years.
In better words from George Orwell, Leonard was a reason "people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
When Leonard started losing his sight, he bemoaned the fact that he would't be able to look at the pretty girls.
Thank you Leonard Crozier for standing on that thin line as you are still probably doing.
Heaven needed a junk yard dog with a heart.
Although Leonard did not want a memorial service, raise a toast to him when you can. Those that we do not forget are still with us.
