WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY- Sources confirm an FBI agent was again visiting the Luzerne County Sheriff's Department Tuesday.

The I-Team was told the meeting was a face-to-face sitdown with Sheriff Michael Savokinas, who was out of town week when investigators first came calling.

Savokinas' office is under scrutiny after reports were made to the D. A.'s office about drugs in a sheriff's patrol car.

Last week, Chief Deputy Charles Guarnieri confirmed a four-hour chat with investigators, but said it had nothing to do with any drug investigation.

Savokinas did not return a message for comment.
