Former Undersheriff Bill Buzzell was implicated in the disappearance of a significant amount of cocaine used as a prop in drug-education presentations. The cocaine, seized in a case and stored in a coffee can with a hidden compartment, went missing after Buzzell last used it in 1999. Despite an internal report, the cocaine was never found, and no disciplinary actions were taken.
