Trial Date Set For Superintendent

Judge David Gienapp says a trial date of July 20th is in place for Wessington Springs School Superintendent Lance Witte. Witte is charged with driving on a revoked license after he was pulled over, while on probation from a drunk driving conviction last November. Witte was granted a work permit for driving and maintains he had the paperwork for that permit in order when he was stopped outside of Alpena on December 10th of last year by a South Dakota Highway Patrolman. A pre-trial motions hearing is set for July 7th. The Wessington Springs School Board has said it continues to stand behind and support it’s Superintendent.
