EVERETT — Snohomish County Sheriff Adam Fortney has reinstated two more deputies who were fired by the previous sheriff for violating policy.

Master patrol deputy Matt Boice and deputy Evan Twedt lost their jobs Nov. 1 when an internal investigation found they performed a warrantless search on a car two years ago, then tried to cover it up.

Fortney disagreed with the investigation’s conclusions and reversed then-Sheriff Ty Trenary’s decision. The deputies were reinstated on Friday, but they will receive a reprimand in their personnel file for writing incomplete reports, Fortney wrote in a statement released Tuesday.

Before becoming sheriff, Fortney, then a sergeant, supervised the two deputies on the night shift in the South Precinct. Boice is a 12-year veteran of the sheriff’s office, while Twedt has been a deputy for 4 years.
