Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos testimony under oath about never being suspended as a law enforcement officer contradicts public records from the El Paso Police Department, which show eight suspensions and three leaves without pay between 1977 and 1982, totaling 37 days off the job. These punishments were due to issues like firing a shot, off-duty gambling, excessive force, rule violations, and habitual tardiness. Nanos resigned in 1982 to avoid termination for insubordination and poor performance. His sworn denial came during a deposition in a lawsuit filed by Sergeant Aaron Cross, who sued after Nanos put him on leave near the end of Nanos 2024 reelection campaign. Cross accused Nanos of knowingly lying under oath, which could amount to perjury.
