ROLETTE COUNTY, N.D. – Five years ago Tuesday, Rolette County Dep. Colt Allery gave his life in the line of duty for the people of North Dakota.

Allery was killed in a gunfight with a suspect following a pursuit. Thousands headed to Belcourt for his funeral.

A “light parade” that was scheduled for Tuesday evening in Rolette County in honor of Allery has been postponed due to the weather.
