Election probe results coming soon

FARMINGTON — The results of an investigation into allegations of election law violations should be announced next Tuesday.

In a statement released earlier this week, Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings said that he and Weber County Attorney Mark DeCaria have concluded their investigation with respect to the State Treasurer’s race.

He said no additional information on the investigation would be forthcoming until Oct. 14.

The criminal division of the state Attorney General’s Office asked Rawlings, a Republican, and DeCaria, a Democrat, to investigate if there were any prosecutable crimes committed in regards to the State Treasurer’s primary race.

Walker’s primary election opponent, Richard Ellis, filed a complaint with the lieutenant governor’s office in late May alleging that Walker offered Ellis a chance to keep his job as chief deputy state treasurer with a pay raise if Ellis would drop out of the race. Walker denied the allegation, but lost the primary.
