US EditionPima County Sheriff Chris Nanos facing recall effort
Recall effort targets Sheriff Chris Nanos over alleged false testimony and mismanagement amid Nancy Guthrie investigation, with 500 volunteers gathering signatures, officials said.
- Led by Daniel Butierez, the bipartisan recall drive was officially launched on March 12 over Nanos's handling of Nancy Guthrie's case.
- On March 10, the sheriff's office said two clerical errors explain discrepancies in Nanos's resume, and the Pima County Board of Supervisors will review alleged work-history misrepresentation.
- The Pima County Deputy's Organization says deputies criticize Nanos over resume discrepancies and deposition answers, amid conflicts in El Paso Police records, with some deputies too fearful to lead the effort.
- The Pima County Board of Supervisors can compel sworn reports and may vacate a seat after 10 days of noncompliance, as in the 1994 precedent, District 2 Supervisor Matt Heinz said.
- With 500 volunteers enlisted, Daniel Butierez has roughly 120 days to collect around 120,000 signatures and says Pima County deputies feared reprisals despite wanting to lead the campaign.
