In 2022, Sergeant Ricardo Garcia allegedly sexually assaulted a female deputy when he was her supervisor. The incident happened at a party when he was off duty.'My role is to not just protect the integrity of the case but to prevent this victim from being re-victimized,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said.On Tuesday, the Pima County Board of Supervisors is going to discuss Nanos’ handling of the situation at their board meeting.
That letter said the deputies handling the situation gave little to no assistance and some failed to report it right away.Nanos said he's confident in his decision.'This sheriff knows what he's doing. I've been doing it for almost half a century,” Nanos said.However, he feels like the Board of Supervisors bringing up the incident and his handling of it is politically motivated, especially because it’s during election season.
