APPEAL OF A DENIAL OF A BEHAVIORAL/MENTAL HEALTH EMPLOYEE
APPLICATION - MARSHA TURGOOSE -
Police Chief Randy Severe sent a letter to Ms. Turgoose informing her, her application for
a Behavioral/Mental Health License in the City of Chubbuck has been denied due to
information revealed during the completion of her background check and her failure to
disclose all information on the application. The denial is based specifically on a guilty of
possession of a controlled substance conviction, January, 2002 and her failure to disclose
the above charges on her application.
Ms. Turgoose explained she did not think she was charged with the possession charge at
that time, that is why she did not include it on the application.
Police Chief Severe explained why the application was denied. PC Severe stated if the
conviction is within the last ten years of the date of the application, the application can be
denied. This has been six years. PC Severe stated Ms. Turgoose has not had anything of
concern since.
Ms. Turgoose stated she is working for Children’s Support Services, 4650 Hawthorne
