2 Probation and Parole Employees Charged After Casper Bar Fight

Two people who work for the state Probation and Parole office face criminal charges after a fight at an east Casper bar late Tuesday.

asper police received a report of nine people fighting at the Keg and Cork shortly after 11 p.m. Tuesday, according to Sgt. Joey Wilhelm. Minor injuries were reported as a result of the fight, Wilhelm told K2 Radio News.

Official details on the fight itself are scarce, but responding officers worked the incident for at least 90 minutes, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in the case against Holland.

Shortly after 12:30 a.m., one of those officers saw a black truck -- which had been parked on the west side of the building -- pull through the parking lot. The officer was aware that an intoxicated woman had been laying down in the truck when it was parked, and that woman had been involved in the assault.

Because he had not seen anyone leave the bar and was concerned that the intoxicated woman was driving, the officer followed the vehicle. The black truck slowed dramatically and nearly stopped in the middle of Second Street before it pulled to the side of the road. The officer then initiated a traffic stop.

The Driver said she had been drinking and should not have been driving. The officer noted that she appeared to be intoxicated and asked her to participate in field sobriety tests.

Because the officer had attended training courses with Holland, another officer administered the sobriety tests in order to avoid any potential conflict of interest. She performed poorly on those tests.

A portable breath test revealed a blood-alcohol concentration of .097. The legal limit to drive is .08.

She was arrested and the black truck, a 2017 Ford, was towed.
