A multifaceted individual, he concurrently pursued a career in law enforcement and the entertainment industry. Notably, one of his film endeavors, "Paris After Midnight," was unfortunately subject to a vice raid in the mid-1950s, resulting in a considerable amount of professional embarrassment.
Undeterred, he continued to serve the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department for an impressive twenty years, ultimately ascending to the position of County Marshall in 1971. However, his tenure in this role was marked by controversy, as he was subsequently convicted of felony charges related to the illegal use of deputy marshals in political activities.
Consequently, he received a six-month sentence, although this was ultimately commuted to probation due to his poor health. His tenure as County Marshall came to an abrupt end in 1975, as he was formally dismissed from his position.
