In 2023, Sheriff Wainwright was investigated for allegedly pressuring a deputy to show leniency to a woman who received a traffic citation. A leaked audio recording revealed Wainwright stating he had the authority to dismiss tickets and expressing frustration when the deputy reported the incident up the chain of command. Wainwright admitted to overstating his authority and using inappropriate language, and sought management training to improve workplace dynamics.
