Amid several issues of controversy surrounding the Crook County School District, its' superintendent, as well as the district's elected board, Board Member Cheyenne Edgerly resigned effective yesterday, according to a statement provided to the Prineville Review this afternoon.
A battalion chief with Crook County Fire & Rescue (CCFR) made a surprise announcement of his resignation directly to the organization's elected board on Thursday morning, while primarily raising issues related to confidence in the fire district's leadership and turnover in frontline staff.
The investigation into allegations against a local Prineville car salesman, Michael Smetzer Jr. and his company Central Oregon Motors, has been taken over by the FBI.
Law enforcement and DMV investigations into Prineville-based Central Oregon Motors, LLC, have been revealed following an initial story first reported by the Prineville Review last month as well as a report last week by KTVZ's Matthew Draxton.
