In 2010, Sheriff Roger Lee Price was accused of misconduct, including releasing a female prisoner without bond or judicial authorization on September 11, 2006, and directing staff to turn away an individual attempting to surrender on July 25, 2007. A grand jury found him guilty of willful neglect of duty, leading to his removal from office in November 2010. In 2016, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled that the Pawnee County Commission acted outside its authority in suspending Price, making him eligible for retirement benefits.
