The man who instituted the Pierce County Sheriff's Department's moral code in the wake of a scandal that saw a previous sheriff imprisoned has died, according to his family. Although former Tacoma Police Chief Lyle Smith was the man who inherited the department at its lowest point, Charles "Chuck" Robbins picked up the torch and charged his command staff with developing a list of core values. Robbins, who served as sheriff from 1988 to 1992, died at home in Eatonville on July 29 from health complications. He was 84. Pierce County's longest-tenured sheriff, Paul Pastor, looked at revising the core values he helped write with Robbins, but Pastor's top brass couldn't find a flaw.
