In 2015, Lieutenant Greg Scolapio was demoted to the rank of deputy for violating the Sheriff’s Department’s rules and regulations. The demotion was related to an incident where Scolapio failed to personally investigate a suspicious cooler left in the courthouse hallway and improperly delegated the task to a civilian. Scolapio appealed the decision, and in 2018, the circuit court vacated the findings and remanded the case for alternative disciplinary action. Subsequently, Scolapio was reinstated to the rank of sergeant with back pay as part of a negotiated agreement.
