In 2008, while Wolfe was sheriff, he had his mayoral campaign symbol imprinted on bills of Cabell County taxpayers. Wolfe also admitted to accepting tickets to Cincinnati Reds games from a bank doing business with Cabell County.

Wolfe and the Ethics Commission have agreed to a $1,500 fine, public reprimand and ethics training.
