RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A former state’s attorney serving probation for felony tax evasion is now accused of working as a security guard without a license.

The Rapid City Attorney’s Office says Ken Orrock didn’t have a license when he worked for Black Hill Patrol and handcuffed a man.

The former Bennett County state’s attorney could face up to 30 days in jail if convicted.



The Rapid City Journal says Orrock is serving five years of probation.

He must also make more than $280,000 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service for failing to pay taxes from 2011 and 2015.

He founded Black Hills Patrol in 2010.
