Daniel Kloberdanz's mug shot from his June 15, 2012, arrest on suspicion of hindering an investigation. He claims in a lawsuit that he was beaten severely by a deputy during the arrest.
Real estate lawyer Daniel Kloberdanz isn't a criminal defense expert, but figured he could help an employee who'd called him as she was being investigated for a DUI.

Not long after arriving at the accident scene at Lone Mountain Road and 60th Street in Cave Creek last year, Kloberdanz claims, the lawyer found himself being pummeled by a deputy and accused of a crime that could cost him his career.

Kloberdanz lays out his story in a lawsuit filed on June 12 in Maricopa County Superior Court, which was preceded by a December 2012 claim letter against the county offering to settle the matter for a cool $12,125,000.

Retired PCSO Captain Jeffrey Karns
Remember the e-mail sent by then-PCSO Captain Jeffrey Karns lambasting Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu?

Silly question.

Who could possibly forget the scathing, sarcasm-riddled message Karns blasted to every PCSO employee on January 8 over Babeu's plan to strip Karns and PCSO lieutenants of their employee protections.

Roosevelt School Board Approves Resolution to Keep Sheriff Arpaio's "School-Safety" Posse Away From School Campuses

The Roosevelt School Board unanimously adopted a resolution on Tuesday to "communicate forcefully to Sheriff [Joe] Arpaio that his immigration and school safety patrols are not welcome in south Phoenix."

The measure is meant to assuage the fears of area parents who don't want Arpaio's non-police volunteers, who sometimes carry guns and whose criminal backgrounds don't bar them from being a posse member, to patrol school campuses without the approval of local district officials and "full collaboration with the Phoenix Police Department."

"You play golf?" we ask 69-year-old John van Steinburg, as we roll past the entrance to Anthem's country club, riding in a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office patrol car.

He doesn't, but since Sheriff Joe Arpaio's PR staff let us hop in the car with Steinburg -- one of Arpaio's posse members now on armed school-patrol -- we wanted to find out what kind of person wants to spend all day driving laps around an elementary school with a gun.

Pinal County Sheriff's Election: Seven Candidates Submit Signatures, Qualify for Ballot

Pinal COunty badge.jpg
Seven candidates are vying to serve as the next sheriff of Pinal County, a post now held by one of those candidates -- embattled incumbent Paul Babeu.

 

Babeu faces stiff competition from three Republicans, two Democrats and one Independent.

Babeu quit his race for a seat in Arizona's Fourth Congressional District in the wake of multiple scandals that severely hampered both his campaign contributions and political support. He decided to run instead for reelection, pushing his number-two guy -- PCSO Chief Deputy Steve Henry -- out of the sheriff's race.

Justice Department Investigating Montana Agencies Over Allegedly Bungled Sex-Crime Cases, Draws Comparison to MCSO

The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it's investigating allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault around Missoula, Montana, including the University of Montana.

According to the Justice Department, "This investigation will focus on allegations that [the Montana agencies] are failing to adequately investigate and prosecute alleged sexual assaults against women in Missoula."

Just as a point of reference, the DoJ notes that this isn't the first time it's investigated something like this; you may be familiar with the Justice Department for its investigation into the office of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for allegedly bungling sex crimes, as well.

"The department previously found a pattern or practice of gender discrimination in the New Orleans Police Department," the DoJ says. "Similarly, the department found problems of significant concern involving the handling of sex crimes in both the Puerto Rico Police Department and the Maricopa County (Arizona) Sheriff's Office."

Join the club, Missoula.
