The Arizona Court of Appeals has upheld the 2014 firing of a former Pima County prosecutor for violating county rules of conduct, documents show.
Theresa Sheridan sued the Pima County Merit System Commission and the Pima County Attorney’s Office in November 2014, saying there was no substantial evidence to support her firing, according to Pima County Superior Court records.
Sheridan’s notice of dismissal from the County Attorney’s Office cited “incompetence, dishonesty and violation of various county and Arizona Supreme Court Rules and Rules of Professional Conduct,” according to the Court of Appeals written decision on Oct. 11.
