    Deputy Eric Snow, who is running for sheriff as a Republican, was put on paid leave Wednesday following his shift at the county office.

    Teton County Sheriff's deputy Eric Snow, who is running as a Republican for the top job in Jackson, was placed on paid administrative leave this week following a recent traffic stop. While the office cited a personnel matter, court documents show Snow arrested a woman for a 0.20% blood alcohol level but failed to conduct a full DUI investigation. This follows a previous incident where the FBI and state authorities reviewed Snow's conduct after a separate drug-impaired driving charge was dismissed for lack of probable cause.
