MCSO: The request from the family attorney was 'unauthorized'
PHOENIX — Two Maricopa County Sheriff's deputies have been reassigned after escorting the parents of a suspect in the killing of Preston Lord to their vehicle after his court appearance last week.
We reached out to MCSO to ask if this is protocol, a spokesperson said deputies run security for the court, but don’t run the facility. They respond to what is asked of them. https://t.co/LhoVLFVLby Despite their intention to prevent potential conflict or disruption at the courthouse, the two deputies failed to seek supervisory guidance or coordinate with judicial staff upon receiving the escort request from the family's legal representative. Both deputies involved have been reassigned from the Juvenile Court Center as we continue examining the incident.
According to Judge Welty's statement, Maricopa County Superior Court shared its concerns with the sheriff's office, and"trust that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office will address the issue appropriately and provide an explanation for the deputy’s actions.
