In August 2020, Lieutenant Roger Schultz authored a Facebook post on the department’s page that was criticized for making light of a potential statutory rape case. The post included a joke about police officers’ stereotypical affinity for coffee and donuts. Following public backlash, Schultz was pressured to resign without due process, leading him to file a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Town of Jackson. In June 2023, a jury awarded Schultz $235,000 in damages, concluding that his due process rights had been violated.
