It took nearly 10 months for a prosecutor to file an obstruction charge against Box Elder County Sheriff Kevin Potter, though investigators may have had evidence of false statements from the sheriff on night one. The Cache County Attorney's Office said the time was needed to ensure investigators had sufficient evidence, but even a supporter of the sheriff questions why it took so long.
