But crucial messages from that conversation don’t appear in the screenshots sent in two emails from Church’s state address to an external account at 12:49 p.m. and 12:50 p.m. July 17. The emails also went out within an hour of news breaking that Ezell would face criminal charges in a different incident.

Among the missing texts from Church’s state-issued cellphone include a message to Ezell on July 7 that said, “You get me a pharmacist in dispensary and then come to our office. I guarantee I can do more than u have now,” accompanied by an emoji winking and flashing its tongue. Also not present were negative comments Church made about an assistant attorney general who advised the pharmacy board.

Ezell resigned July 13, four days before being charged with emailing herself fake threats that expressed anger over how the Health Department handled medical marijuana emergency rules.

The pharmacy board said in a letter that it couldn’t provide other information requested from Church’s business or personal cellphones because it does not have and will not gain access to the data each contains.
