Pima County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Chris Radtke has been brought up on federal charges related to the mismanagement of public funds, authorities said Monday night.
The Star reported last November that when Radtke’s niece took over operations of a café inside Sheriff’s headquarters in 2012, the department spent more than $10,000 on equipment for the space, and allowed her to run her restaurant rent-free and without a county contract.
