Brickbat: Sobering Allegations

In North Dakota, former Cass County Sheriff's Deputy Darin Viken has been charged with six counts of misdemeanor disorderly conduct related to his role as coordinator of the county's 24-7 sobriety program. The program, which can be mandated as a condition of bond or probation for crimes in which drugs or alcohol played a part, requires daily drug and alcohol testing. Viken is accused of harassing women in the program. He was fired in July after the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation began its investigation.
