Ouray County Road and Bridge Superintendent Ty Barger was placed on paid administrative leave Monday following a driving under the influence arrest in Montrose Aug. 14. Crew Chief Don Castle has been designated interim superintendent while the county conducts its own investigation into the report of the DUI, the county announced in a news release. The county will update the community once its investigation is finalized. County Attorney Leo Caselli declined to comment Tuesday, calling it a personnel matter. It’s unclear how long Barger will remain on paid leave.
