Wilkin County Declines Charges in Rogers High Bus Investigation Citing Jurisdiction

A separate Douglas County investigation remains active alongside the district’s internal review.

Overview

  • Wilkin County’s attorney said the office would not prosecute the reported bus incident due to a lack of jurisdiction, noting other agencies may still review and charge.
  • Douglas County authorities confirmed the case remains an active investigation, and as of this week no report had been forwarded to the county attorney for review.
  • The allegations involve the Rogers High School 9th/10th grade boys team bus during a late‑February trip to or from Moorhead, prompting multijurisdictional coordination.
  • Rogers police said a parent filed the initial report and that they alerted the Douglas and Wilkin County sheriff’s offices to determine where the incident may have occurred.
  • Officials have withheld specifics because minors are involved; a player’s family member told reporters they do not view the incident as hazing and urged parents to talk with their children.
