Two top former Pinal County law enforcement officers whose activities are under state and federal investigation say they have been defamed by the new county attorney and are demanding an apology.
Former Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and County Attorney Lando Voyles said they have been maligned and subjected to “disparaging statements” over their handling of profits from seized property.
Attorneys for Babeu, Voyles and his former chief of staff, Dwight Fujimoto, accused County Attorney Kent Volkmer of making false claims “with respect to our clients’ management of RICO funds” and asset seizures.
