Criminal case dismissed against burn boss in Grant County
Manage episode 422908297 series 3541037
In October 2022, Grant County Sheriff Todd McKinley arrested Ricky Snodgrass, a U.S. Forest Service employee who was leading a prescribed burn that jumped to private land and burned roughly 20 acres. In February of this year, a grand jury indicted Snodgrass on a misdemeanor count of reckless burning. His case was then moved to federal court, where it was dismissed last week. The case was a particularly striking example of longstanding tensions between federal agencies and local communities in rural Oregon.
Conrad Wilson is a reporter covering criminal justice and legal affairs for OPB. He joins us with more details on the case.
