Deputy Robert J. Wilcox faced misdemeanor charges in 2017, including reckless endangerment, obstruction of justice, and official misconduct. The charges were connected to a 2015 incident where Sheriff Richard Eldredge allegedly pointed an unloaded assault rifle at Deputy Todd Bristol, with Wilcox present during the event. In August 2017, a judge dismissed all charges against Wilcox, citing insufficient evidence. ([apnews.com](https://apnews.com/general-news-a72ef93b43a54cd69cef764732ab9c66?utm_source=openai))
