San Juan County clerk who falsified a document to oust Navajo Willie Grayeyes from ballot won't face charges

In one of his last acts as county attorney, Grand County’s top prosecutor declined to file criminal charges against a San Juan County clerk who illegally booted a Navajo candidate — now a county commissioner — from the November ballot.

Former Grand County Attorney Andrew Fitzgerald sent a letter to San Juan County prosecutors Dec. 21, outlining his reasons for not charging clerk John David Nielson, said Danalee Gerber, a paralegal for Grand County, on Wednesday. Fitzgerald left the prosecutor’s office in January to work in private practice.
