CROSBY, N.D.—A northwest North Dakota man who claims that Divide County Sheriff Lauren Throntveit was intoxicated while investigating a shooting earlier this year has filed a complaint against him.

Douglas James of Crosby, who also claims the sheriff drinks on the job, submitted a formal complaint to the North Dakota Peace Officers Standards and Training Board last week. The board will hold a hearing on the complaint in Bismarck on Feb. 7, Duane Stanley, the POST board's executive secretary, said.
