This is the second time Cochise County has paid Cleveland as the result of a federal claim. Last year he received $250 after a deputy arrested him on a warrant that had not been properly removed from the system, even though Cleveland had a letter from the Willcox Justice Court stating the warrant was quashed.
As far as I'm concerned, the County really skated on this prior deal.Consider that a guy gets a warrant withdrawn and the Judge gives him a letter to show L E that the warrant is no longer valid. And a Deputy ignores the letter. I'd be REALLY pissed if I was the one arrested.
As far as the prescription deal, I'd say the Judge got it right.
