Campbell trial date scheduled in June

The trial of North Whatcom Fire and Rescue Services fire chief Mike Campbell is scheduled for June 9 and 10.

Campbell was charged with second degree child molestation and second degree rape of a child, according to county prosecutor David Graham.

Campbell was arrested last October on the suspicion he raped a young girl while he served as the Point Roberts fire chief. The rape is alleged to have occurred in 1999, when the then 13-year-old girl was visiting Campbell’s home in Point Roberts.

“Mike is still on administrative leave, without pay or medical benefits,” interim fire administrator Dave Crossen said. “At the current time the board is waiting to see what the trial outcome will be.”
