Written by In October 2010, Undersheriff Jeff Fauque was charged with entering a house to steal prescription narcotics. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, surrendered his law enforcement certifications, and underwent inpatient addiction treatment. He later applied for disability benefits under the Sheriff’s Retirement System, claiming post-traumatic stress disorder from years of investigating deaths led to his drug abuse. The Montana Public Employees Retirement Board denied his claim, a decision upheld by the Montana Supreme Court in July 2014.
