Overview
- At least two county supervisors plan to seek a vote to vacate the sheriff’s office if Chris Nanos does not resign by Tuesday, a deadline that marks 100 days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared.
- CBS News obtained El Paso Police Department records that show Nanos was suspended several times for alleged infractions including “unnecessary violence” and tardiness, which officials say contradicts his sworn testimony.
- Nanos’ attorney says the sheriff misunderstood a deposition question about discipline from a different agency and reported the error after reviewing the transcript.
- The removal push follows public friction with the FBI over the Guthrie probe, with FBI Director Kash Patel claiming the bureau was kept out for four days and the sheriff’s office saying an FBI task force member was on scene the first night.
- Supervisor Matt Heinz says the effort targets Nanos’ record rather than the missing-person case, as the search for Guthrie continues in Pima County.
