Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is calling on John Acton, the Republican candidate for constable in the Apache Junction/San Tan Valley Justice Court, to formally withdraw from the race due to allegations of impersonating a police officer and falsifying his service as a Chicago police officer, states a press release issued by the sheriff.
Mr. Acton said he would not back down.
“I respectfully disagree with the sheriff requesting my withdrawal from the race,” Mr. Acton said during a phone interview Oct. 9.
The men met for nearly 90 minutes Oct. 7 to listen and review documents that Mr. Acton said would prove his service as a police officer, the release said.
