Yellowstone County sheriff candidate running to lead office he was previously fired from

Before Adam Chenoweth’s run for Yellowstone County sheriff, the former deputy was fired from the same agency he now wants to lead. In a May 1, 2015 termination letter, long-time Sheriff Mike Linder gave some of his “most serious reasons” for Chenoweth’s firing from the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office. Those 11 reasons include Chenoweth not recording audio during arrests, Chenoweth feeling “that everyone is high on drugs if no alcohol is present” during DUI stops and an instance where an unbuckled Chenoweth almost crashed into a tree during a pursuit “caused by his poor decision making.”
