CITY, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Andrew Sadek’s parents, John and Tammy are pushing for a change on how a confidential drug informant is treated concerning their legal rights during the recruiting process by law enforcement.

Sadek was a student at North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton and died while working as a drug informant for a regional drug task force. Sadek’s body was found in the Red River near Wahpeton with a gunshot wound to the head in June of 2014.

The North Dakota House passed “Andrews Law” earlier this year but the Senate changed the original language and passed it last week.

During a District 24 Legislative Forum, State Representative Daniel Johnston said the Senate unanimously passed the measure and it’s very upsetting to him, other lawmakers and the Sadek family.

District 24 State Senator Larry Robinson and House Representative Dwight Kiefert believe the bill’s original intent should be restored too. A legislative conference committee may revise the language in the bill to revert back to it’s original intent.

Richland County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Weber recruited Andrew Sadek to be a confidential informant after he was arrested for selling 3.3 grams of marijuana back in 2013. Sadek was found dead in June of 2014.

A civil lawsuit against Richland County is being pursued by the Sadek family.
