🚨 PCDO Deputies Vote Unanimous No Confidence in Sheriff Nanos & Call for His Resignation 🚨
It isn't easy.
Replying to @PimaSheriff
@PimaSheriff Nanos can’t do a press conference. He chooses to go on a local, casual show for a case the nation is watching. Like he’s talking about fishing or some past time.
If I had the biggest missing persons case in the US would I go on the Buck whoever show? Come on. He isn’t even trying to make this look like he’s trying!
@AZPCDO Hell! How you all put up with your jobs everyday, I will never know. I pray for your relief from this bastard every single day!
If these guys worked for Sheriff Nanos, they'd be falsely accused of Hatch Act violations and disciplined.

Missing Juvenile Ryker Lee
If you have seen Ryker, please call 9-1-1.
Pima County has a corrupt official waiting to be held accountable, ma'am.

I’ve prosecuted Democrats and Republicans alike for crimes and corruption, and I don’t care what someone’s party is when it comes to enforcing the law. I removed from office and prosecuted a Democratic county attorney in the most Democratic county in AZ for alleged corruption. I will always hold anyone accountable who breaks the law, regardless of party.

After @PimaSheriff Nanos suspended Heather Lappin who was running against him just months before the election…and then went on to win by only 480 votes.
➡️Heather Lappin left Pima County and found a new home in Queen Creek, where she worked her way back up and earned her lieutenant badge again.
Quite the ending to a very possibly illegal & controversial chapter in Pima County politics.
 “Fresh out of the photo lab! Pics from Queen Creek’s badge pinning ceremony. Heather is officially a Lieutenant again 😁. 27 dedicated individuals and their families celebrated!”

Excellent work by our detectives and tactical teams.

Shocking allegations.
Though Sheriff Nanos did far worse as an El Paso police officer and we will continue to remind the people of Pima County.
