Former Cook County prosecutor's law license suspended
The Minnesota Supreme Court has indefinitely suspended the license of a former northern Minnesota prosecutor convicted of sexual misconduct involving a teenage girl.
The court took the action Wednesday against former Cook County Attorney Tim Scannell of Grand Marais.
The director of the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility filed the petition to discipline Scannell.
In its order, the Supreme Court said Scannell must wait three years before filing for reinstatement. He also has to pay $900 in costs.
A home telephone number for Scannell could not be found.
