MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) Two South Dakotans with some bumps in their past have officially been cleared to serve in law enforcement. On Wednesday, the state’s Law Enforcement Officers Standards and Training Commission gave the green light to Patrick Iyotte and Ashley Yellow Bull after separate hearings. Iyotte, now a deputy in Todd County, came clean about a 2019 crash where alcohol, THC, and cocaine were involved. Yellow Bull, who works with the Oglala Sioux Tribe, had past charges that were later dropped, but she didn’t list them on her application. She also left out a failed firearms test. Despite those red flags, both candidates had strong support from their local law enforcement communities, and the commission ultimately decided they were fit to serve.
