Oregon Justice Department finds no criminal charges warranted in rare liquor investigation leading to executive director's resignation.

The department's report said that although employees' behavior may have breached ethical standards, there is no explicit policy prohibiting the specific conduct, and no evidence of relevant training. The longstanding practice, endorsed by at least one executive director, reportedly involved employees using their positions to access in-demand bourbon bottles.
