A September 5, 2014 article in The Ely Times: Council raids railroad office

Two short excerpts:

Quote

After receiving permission from both White Pine County Sheriff Dan Watts and City Attorney Richard Sears, Councilman Bruce Setterstrom proceeded to climb a ladder up to the second story balcony of the railroad’s offices and enter through a window by removing an air conditioning unit.

Quote

[Nevada Northern Railroad Executive Director Mark Bassett] criticized the council members methods, saying that [Councilman Bruce Setterstrom] and [Ely Mayor Melody Van Camp] tried to harass railroad employees into opening the locked doors.

“They elected to break into the building,” Bassett said. “They knew we were closed today. (Setterstrom) threatened two of my employees here. We filed a police report on his actions.”

The police report filed also included a threat by Setterstrom against The Ely Times reporter, who arrived while the council members and the auditor were in the building.
