Prosecutor Won’t Face Discipline in Cobb Case

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A complaint filed against the North Dakota prosecutor who struck a deal with a white supremacist that kept Craig Cobb out of prison has been dismissed.

The Bismarck Tribune reports a committee of the state attorney disciplinary board rejected the complaint filed by city leaders in Leith. Cobb pleaded guilty to terrorizing and menacing residents there and received four years of probation but no prison time.

The city officials accused Grant County State's Attorney Todd Schwarz of acting unprofessionally and possibly unethically while prosecuting Cobb. Schwarz called the complaint frivolous.

Leith spokesman Greg Bruce says no decision has been made on whether to appeal the committee's action to the disciplinary board.
