Zeller Reflects on Permits and Bold Stances Amid Flood Impact
Sheriff Zeller defended strict standards while denying self defense as a permit reason. He refused a handgun permit to former Coggan Chief Chuck Lewis after a background check. He stood firm against fingerprint resistance, jailed Conan VonBillings, and oversaw a department strained by a 1996 flood. Gardiner succeeds him in January as retirement looms.
