Michael Beaver – Griggs County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In April 2024, Sheriff Michael Beaver requested assistance from the North Dakota Highway Patrol during the county’s annual Smoker fundraiser in Cooperstown. He initially claimed to have requested one trooper for the entire county. However, it was later revealed that he had altered the email to conceal that he had actually requested three troopers specifically for Cooperstown. This led to charges of felony tampering with public records. Beaver admitted to altering the email due to fear of public backlash. He and his deputy resigned in May 2024. Beaver was arrested in September 2024 and made his first court appearance on the charges.
