In a letter dated June 25, 2010, Chief Counsel, Sean Riddell of the Criminal Justice Division advised they found “…no evidence to support Mr Stufflebean’s claims, which if true, would rise to the level of criminal conduct. We see no need for further investigation”.

The letter apologizes for inconveniencing the department but gives no hint as to whether it plans to penalize Stufflebean for wasting everyone’s time and money. Stufflebean, meanwhile, is reported to be refusing comment citing he has yet to read the report. ‘The report’ is three paragraphs and I read it under a minute and part is copied here and was copied to the commissioner. Maybe an apology would be in order…

Let’s not forget Stufflebean also accused Larry Van Elsberg of corruption in the road department. Van Elsberg was cheered but not surprised by the AG’s findings and noted that the accusations against the road department were also vague and said, “desperate people do desperate things”.
