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As far as I'm concerned, the County really skated on this prior deal.Consider that a guy gets a warrant withdrawn and the Judge gives him a letter to show L E that the warrant is no longer valid.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.
I just hope he doesn't keep up his nonsense with that damned BB gun, Gene. We've got a really fine crew working dispatch, most days, but things can and do get balled up on weekends,.....BIG geography, sparce coverage,...the Border and the I-10 = inevitable FUBARS.
Anybody know the 10 code for 'just one of the local crazies' ?
