Overview
- The Pima County Deputy’s Organization, which represents about 300 deputies, said Monday it voted no confidence in Sheriff Chris Nanos and urged him to resign, reporting a 241–0 tally with 64 abstaining.
- The Board of Supervisors, which voted unanimously Tuesday to require a sworn statement from Nanos, has outside counsel preparing questions due by April 7.
- A recall campaign led by congressional candidate Daniel Butierez launched last week, and Nanos told the New York Post he would accept the outcome if voters remove him.
- Records from Nanos’ 1976–1982 El Paso police tenure describe eight suspensions totaling 37 days for allegations such as excessive force, firing his weapon, gambling and insubordination, and note he resigned in lieu of termination.
- The search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, continues with FBI involvement and no named suspect, as critics fault early crime-scene release and testing choices and Nanos says he has no regrets about his team’s work.
