star2city Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Since this made the Chicago News, just had to post it! Chicago Tribune: Lead-footed Bohl is Fargo police spokesman for traffic safety Police Chief Keith Ternes isn't yanking the radio ad that feature's Bohl's voice, but concedes, "It certainly does take away from the message when the messenger might be somebody we're trying to reach." At least the Fargo Police didn't use Bohl as an anti-shoplifting spokesman. (or as an anti-drunk driving or as an anti-pot dealing spokeman either!!) P.S. This might get NDSU more publicity than their FCS playoff run! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoHawks! Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I was reading a complimentary copy of USA Today this morning, and Coach Bohl made the Sports section AND the North Dakota news section of the 50 state news section. Good job coach and Fargo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star2city Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 Mostly thought that this was a hilarious story - with horrid judgement on the part of Bohl - but this author thinks otherwise: Examiner's view of Bohl situation Craig Bohl has received the royal treatment since he came to Fargo a few years ago. NDSU football coaches always do. But why would he accept the radio spot knowing full well of his driving record? This smacks of a publicity stunt and attention-getting egoism.

star2city Posted August 26, 2011 Author Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not Craig-Bohl related, but another NDSU driving incident makes the national news: Washington Post: NDSU wrestling coach suspended after DUI Athletic Director Gene Taylor told The Forum newspaper that Maughan also will have to go through an alcohol evaluation. He says if Maughan gets another DUI he will be fired. Police records show that Maughan was arrested in Fargo on July 14. He was later given a 30-day suspended jail sentence and ordered to pay about $600 in fines. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
