MANDAN, N.D. (KFYR) - Gabrielle Goter, a Morton County assistant prosecutor and candidate for Morton County State’s Attorney, is no longer employed with Morton County.
Goter was placed on administrative leave by State’s Attorney Allen Koppy in June. She was investigated internally by the Morton County Human Resources Department after a complaint claimed she created a hostile work environment. The department reports the investigation confirmed the allegations. Additionally, it reports that an outside firm, specializing in employment law, also investigated Goter.
County Human Resources Director Wendy Bent released the following statement:
“ASA Goter is a remarkably brilliant prosecutor. Morton County has greatly benefited from her counsel throughout her tenure with our organization. We are genuinely appreciative of her contributions. Now, we must renew our commitment to the remaining Team Members within the States Attorney’s Office and identify long-term positively impactful solutions to improve the overall employee experience.”
Goter is challenging Koppy in the November election.
Goter’s attorney Tom Dickson says it’s not unusual for people to attack “strong, capable women in positions of power” and says the timing of the investigation stinks of political motivation.
