To the Lincoln County Election Administrator: We, the undersigned qualified electors of the State of Montana and Lincoln County respectfully petition that an election be held as provided by law on the question of whether Lincoln County Sheriff Daryl Anderson, holding the office of Lincoln County Sheriff, should be recalled for the following reasons:
Montana State Law 2-16-603, MCA states that an elected officer may be recalled for incompetency. Sheriff Daryl Anderson failed to investigate 6 reported rape crimes completely, if at all. Specifically he failed to adequately investigate a June 26, 2008 rape and failed to secure the crime scene to obtain valuable evidence. Sheriff Anderson also failed to adequately investigate an April 25, 2008 incident where he also failed to secure the crime scene. The Sheriff has also failed to provide rape victims written notice of their rights as set forth in 46-24-201, MCA He has denied a concealed carry permit without a written statement of the reasonable cause for the denial as required by Section 45-8-321(2), MCA and testified against HB228 Citizens Self Defense and Firearm Rights Bill. He failed to require a deputy to attend the Montana Law Enforcement Academy as required by Section 7-32-2106, MCA and take his Oath of Office per Section 7-32-303(3), MCA. As a result, Sheriff Anderson is subject to recall pursuant to Section 2-16-603, MCA.
If you have any questions or would like to sign this petition, please contact us.
Only registered voters of Lincoln County may sign this and you may only sign it once.
