In September 2022, while off-duty at the Salmon Falls Resort restaurant, Chief Walls allegedly pushed an intoxicated man head-first into a stone wall and placed him in a chokehold after the man stumbled into his wife’s chair. He was indicted on felony third-degree assault and multiple misdemeanors. The felony charge was later dismissed due to prosecutorial errors, and an internal investigation led to his reinstatement in August 2023. Misdemeanor charges remain pending, with a trial scheduled for October 2023.
