Bemidji Pioneer: One charge dismissed, another upheld against Leech Lake cop

CASS COUNTY—One charge against a Leech Lake tribal police officer accused of receiving nude images of a minor was upheld and another dismissed last week after a judge ruled on a months-old defense motion.

Shannon Larry Northbird, 39, remains charged with one count of felony possession of pornographic work involving a minor, after allegedly receiving about 1,000 nude photos of a 17-year-old girl in June of 2016. But one count of misconduct by a public employee has been dismissed.
