Anchorage Daily News: Trooper and Union Said Sherry Johnston Case Delayed Because of Election

Some of the officials investigating the selling of oxycontin by Levi Johnston's mother say the case did not progress normally and was delayed, most likely because Johnstons' future inlaws were involved in the presidential race.

Other officials say that didn't happen.

"We worked very hard to make sure we conducted it just as fairly and as normally as any other investigation," Holloway said.

That's not what Kyle Young, a troopers drug investigator who was involved in the case, wrote in an e-mail last week to all members of the Public Safety Employees Association, the union that represents troopers and other law enforcement officers around the state.

Young wrote that after it became clear who Johnston is, "this case became anything but normal."

"It was not allowed to progress in a normal fashion, the search warrant service WAS delayed because of the pending election and the Mat Su Drug Unit and the case officer were not the ones calling the shots," Young wrote.
