Red Lodge and Carbon County officials stepped back Wednesday from the investigation
into a state senator charged with pushing his wife and fighting a police officer, saying
they want to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.

The state Department of Justice will take over the case against Republican Sen. Jason Priest
of Red Lodge, said Carbon County Attorney Alex Nixon.
