Probe Continues In Fine Arts Council Case

The investigation continues for a case involving the Fort Peck Fine Arts Council that was announced earlier this year. The complexities of the case have caused law enforcement to take a little extra time and be thorough before charges are made.

Valley County Sheriff Glen Meier released a statement this week to let the public know that an outside agency has come into the investigation.

That statement said that his office has turned over an investigation involving the Fort Peck Fine Arts Council to an outside law agency. That agency has yet to be named.

Meier said the investigation has been ongoing since March and the suspect has been identified. He explained that the complexity of the theft and “white collar crime” contributed to it being turned over to an outside agency. He said charges will not be filed until the investigation is complete.

The Fort Peck Fine Arts Council is the governing agency over the Fort Peck Summer Theater and supports arts in the local community. This was one of their best seasons ever, supporters say.
