“I just want to make sure we are clear with the public: People can’t tell you that you can’t drive down this road with some security guy they hired to sit there and block traffic on a county road. That is 100 percent wrong,” said Chairman of the McKenzie County Board of County Commissioners, Howdy Lawlar. “I just want people to know, if there are signs being posted on our (the county’s) posts, they will be taken down and they will end up at the county shop.”
This statement was made after Lawlar and other officials received complaints from members of the public who were being denied access to 134th Ave., south of Watford City and Arnegard, by private security guards. The security guards were hired by private entities and had no connection to county or Sheriff’s Office personnel.
