In December 2024, Scott County Sheriff Tim Lane filed a formal ethics complaint against Chris Cournoyer with the Iowa Senate Ethics Committee. The complaint alleged harassment, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, and misuse of such information for political or personal gain. These allegations originated from Cournoyer’s reported handling of investigative files provided by a former Scott County sergeant, Josh Wall, who had conducted an unsanctioned investigation into the sheriff's wife. The Iowa Senate Ethics Committee rejected the complaint on procedural grounds.
Additionally, a 2018 controversy involved Cournoyer’s application for a Friends of the NRA grant while serving on the Pleasant Valley School Board, which provided $14,851 in shooting supplies for a school trap team.
