Proctor's deputy police chief has pleaded not guilty to possessing morphine that was seized as evidence in a pharmacy burglary.
Troy Foucault is also charged with possession of a short-barreled shotgun and theft.
According to a criminal complaint, an administrative assistant was looking for a lost USB thumb drive in Foucault's desk on Sept. 8 when she found drug items. An officer searched and found three colored pills in a bank bag.
The pills were morphine and a OcyCodone-mixture tablet that were linked to evidence seized during a pharmacy burglary this summer.
