The Montana Division of Criminal Investigation confirmed this week that it is investigating Austin Micu, a captain with the Powell County Sheriff’s Office.
The division declined to provide details.
Powell County Sheriff Gavin Roselles commented:
“I am aware of the DCI investigation regarding Captain Micu,” he said in an email. “I have no comment on the investigation or his current employment status at this time.”
According to meeting minutes of the Powell County School District board of trustees, Micu has worked as a wrestling coach for the school.
Although School Superintendent Rick Duncan acknowledged in an email that the school district also has an investigation underway, he did not name the person at the center of that inquiry.
“The District is conducting an investigation into allegations of inappropriate conduct between a former school employee and a student,” Duncan said. “We cannot comment more pending the outcome of the investigation.”
Micu did not immediately return a query seeking comment.
