Former Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is facing renewed scrutiny from federal agents after a visit late last week.
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office said the Federal Bureau of Investigation visited the office on Friday and collected items that belonged to Babeu and his staff. It is not clear which items are being reviewed by FBI agents, and PCSO said they are not involved in the investigation in any way.
Sources, which must remain anonymous because of the sensitivity of the information, tell us that this is possibly connected to a current federal investigation of the sheriff’s office for its handling of RICO funds.
