The Arizona Attorney General’s office has opened an investigation into Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, a well-known state lawmaker, and others, according to letter released by the Arizona House of Representatives.
The status of the investigation is unclear, but the probe appears to be focused on allegations that Rep. David Cook, a Republican from Globe, and Lamb, stopped a planned seizure of property in 2018 owned by the family of an lobbyist who had fallen behind on property taxes.
In June, the Attorney General’s Criminal Division sent a letter that asked for specific records related to an ethics investigation looking into accusations that Cook had an inappropriate relationship with AnnaMarie Knorr, a lobbyist for the agricultural industry.
