In 1991, Sheriff Clifford Marshall was found to have violated conflict of interest laws by using the Norfolk County Deputy Sheriffs Office (NCDSO) credit card for personal expenses totaling $4,450.52 without timely reimbursement. Additionally, he appointed his sons, Clifford H. Marshall III and Michael Marshall, as deputy sheriffs, allowing them to earn fees for serving civil process, which constituted a conflict of interest. The State Ethics Commission imposed a civil penalty of $8,900 for the credit card misuse and $2,000 for the appointments.
