In January of that year, Indiana State Police initiated an investigation after drugs and cash went missing from the evidence room.

In September of 2022, an indictment was brought against Don Ferguson.

Last August, he was found not guilty of two official misconduct charges, theft of a firearm and a misdemeanor theft charge.

Ferguson was sentenced yesterday to 60 days in jail and 4 months of probation.
