Contempt hearing sought against Joe Arpaio’s successor, Sheriff Paul Penzone A court monitor finds massive backlogs and case delays. Posted at 5:27 PM, Mar 11, 2021 and last updated 2021-03-12 20:49:33-05 PHOENIX — Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone came into office promising to undo the problems created by his predecessor, Joe Arpaio, who was ousted in part because he was found in contempt of court ruling for disobeying a judge’s order in a racial profiling case. But Penzone now faces calls for a contempt hearing in the same profiling lawsuit. Civil rights lawyers asked a judge Wednesday to hold a contempt hearing for Penzone for not complying with a court-ordered overhaul of his internal affairs operation.

Sheriff Shoots Down Bill Mandating Outside Probes of Police Killings

Despite the bipartisan support for the bill, behind the scenes, Penzone has been lobbying Rusty Bowers, the Republican House Speaker, against the bill. On Wednesday, Bowers indicated that the bill won t move any further. At a March 10 press conference, Penzone publicly came out swinging against the bill. He said that while he agrees with its principle, it fails to truly make positive reform. He alleged the bill lacks specifics governing how the outside investigation system should be set up, and that it may place a burden on smaller agencies that don t have extensive investigative resources. He claimed that the legislation doesn t provide guidance on how law enforcement should release information to the public about incidents.

Maricopa County Deputy Cleared After Siccing Dog on Cuffed Inmate in Cell

Back in 2018, Phoenix New Times broke the story about how the inmate who was attacked, Shane McGough, filed a federal complaint against Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone, K9 handler Shaun Eversole and other involved deputies, and a U.S. Forest Service Officer over the incident. McGough alleged in the filing that the deputies committed assault and torture, lied in police reports, and violated his civil rights. The Maricopa County Sheriff s Office (MCSO) also opened internal and criminal investigations into the incident, but the probes faced delays. McGough s lawsuit is ongoing and expected to go to trial. However, the Forest Service Officer and one of the deputies have been removed from the case as defendants.
