ND: WI Sheriff Deputy Called In to Police #NoDAPL Arrested After Passing Out in His Car
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In North Dakota, a Wisconsin sheriff's deputy has been arrested after
being found passed out from intoxication in his car. Deputy Ryan Fowler
had been dispatched to North Dakota along with dozens of other Wisconsin
sheriff's deputies at the request of North Dakota's Morton County
Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, who requested the assistance of hundreds of
out-of-state deputies amid an ongoing crackdown against the resistance
to the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline. Deputy Fowler now faces
charges and has been put on paid leave.
