CITY, ND – (NewsDakota.com)Griggs County States Attorney Jayme Tenneson, Special Assistant Barnes County State’s Attorney declined to prosecute Valley City Attorney Russ Myhre concerning an allegation of serving alcohol to minors.

Tenneson said, “After reviewing the North Dakota BCI report, I have made the decision to decline prosecution for the reason that I do not believe there is sufficient evidence to obtain a conviction.”

Myhre’s attorney Joseph Larson says the allegation made against Myhre was untrue and politically motivated.

The man who made the charge against Myhre is Bob Drake. He says his daughter was one of the witnesses. Drake says he may seek a civil lawsuit against Myhre.

According to Myhre’s attorney Joseph Larson, Myhre will have no further comment regarding this matter.
