When new Watsonville, Calif City Manager Charles Montoya reports for work Nov. 30, he will arrive dogged by allegations of misconduct in Arizona.
Montoya is a defendant in a civil lawsuit filed on behalf of two former police detectives in Florence, Arizona, where Montoya served as town manager from January 2013 to July 2015.
“All of that happened before I arrived,” Montoya said. “I had no connection other than being named in the lawsuit.”
