In 2018, Sheriff Lance Benedict was implicated in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his secretary, Ms. Minarsky. The lawsuit alleged that Benedict’s subordinate, Chief Clerk Yadlosky, engaged in persistent sexual harassment over four years, including unwanted touching and explicit emails.

The case highlighted the Sheriff’s Office’s inadequate response to misconduct and led to increased scrutiny of its handling of such issues.
