Pierce County State's Attorney Galen Mack says he's reviewing a state auditor's report. It says Robert Indvik improperly used a Bottineau County cell phone and pickup for Workforce Safety and Insurance agency business.

Indvik resigned as chairman of the WSI board, and he's quitting his job as Bottineau County's road superintendent.

The report says Indvik used $2,717 worth of county cell phone time over two years doing WSI business. It says he pocketed $225 in mileage money from Workforce Safety that should have gone back to the county.

The report estimates that Indvik spent 19 days of county time doing WSI business.

Indvik has not returned calls from the Asssociated Press for comment about the report.
