Pima Supervisors start process that could replace Sheriff Nanos
Questions over Sheriffs statements about discipline early in his career
Pima County Supervisors are moving ahead with a process that could let them remove Sheriff Chris Nanos from Office.
Reporting from the Arizona Republic showed when Nanos went to work for the Sheriffs department many years ago he did not disclose that he had a series of discipline problems when he was an officer with the El Paso Police Department.
In a recent lawsuit deposition Nanos said he had never been suspended, but background information on the latest Supervisors agenda includes a summary of Nanos discipline record with El Paso Police in the late 1970s and 80s. It shows 27 entries over 5 years. Five allegations were not sustained.
The list includes a 15 day suspension for use of excessive force, five other suspensions for lesser infractions and a 1982 entry that says insubordination and inefficiency claims led him to resign before he could be fired.
