Teton County, Wyoming

Eric Snow, a Teton County, Wyoming sheriff's deputy running as the Republican challenger to incumbent Democrat Sheriff Matt Carr, was placed on administrative leave 13 days before the election. The move followed scrutiny over a traffic stop in which Snow allegedly did not conduct a full DUI investigation despite a high breathalyzer reading, and a separate recently dismissed DUI arrest that had been referred to, then declined by, the FBI. Carr was reportedly recused from the leave decision due to the election. Snow's attorney called the action unfair and improper, while some Republicans have questioned its timing. The Wyoming Highway Patrol is conducting a non-criminal personnel review.
