INVESTIGATION INTO THE PIMA
COUNTY SHERIFF'S MONEY
LAUNDERING SCANDAL SERIOUSLY?
ATBUT IS THAT TRUE?
GOOD EVENING, THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US. I'M GUY ATCHLEY.
I'M STELLA INGER.
WE HAVE SECRET AUDIO RECORDINGS
THAT CAPTURE NAPIER SPEAKING
YOU GET THE RECORDINGS?
THE AUDIO RECORDINGS CAME FROM
-- JOSEPH CAMERON -- THE
LIEUTENANT WHO SPOKE WITH NAPIER
A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER THE
SHERIFF
ASKED FOR A STATE INVESTIGATION.
MIAND THAT COULD INCLUDE HIS
FRIENDS -- FORMER SHERIFFS CHRIS
NANOS, CLARENCE DUPNIK AND
FORMER CHIEF DEPUTY CHRIS
RADTKE -- WHO ALL COULD FACE
OFFICER IN THE PIMA COUNTY
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT -- MOST OF
HIS TIME SPENT ON PATROL -- BUT
NOW HE'S IN CHARGE OF
RECORDS.
ODEPARTMENT.
CAMERON: WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THE
HYPOCRISY GOING ON. THAT THERE
ARESTILL PEOPLE HERE WHO WERE
INVOLVED IN IT AND HAVE
KNOWLEDGE.
CAMERON SAYS HE FELT COMPELLED
TO SPEAK UP -- SO, IN JUABOUT THE RICO CASE.
THAT I WANTED TO BE INTERVIEWED
BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
AND I WANTED A STRAIGHT UP
INVTIGATION AND WHICHEVER WAY
IT
WENT WAS FINE WITH ME.
NAPIER TOLD CAMERON -- WHO HAD
TTM TO.
LISTEN TO WHAT NAPIER SAYS NEXT
--
NAPIER: THEY HAD NO INTENTION
R DID THEY HAVE ANY DESIRE. IN
FACT,
THEY THINK IT'S SILLY.
NAPIER TOLD CAMERON -- THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL EE
BIT STUPID HONESTLY FOR EVEN
ASKING
THEM
CAMERON: HE DID SAY THAT ON
TAPE, DIDN'T HE. AND MYRESPONSE
TO THAT
IS -- I'VE BEEN AROUND A LONG
TIME. IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW
FORWARD WITH THIS. HE TOLD ME ON
TAPE THAT HE KNEW HIS CHIEFS DID
NOT FOLLOW THE RULES.
NAPIER: THEY ADMIT TO ME THAT.
NOW LISTEN TO WHAT NAPIER TOLD
CAMERON --
NAPIER: A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE DID
NOT FOLLOW THE RULES. I'M
POSITIVE OF THAT. ALL OF MY
CHIEFS DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES. POINTED THAT OUT TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
NAPIER SAYS -- IN THE RECORDINGS
-- THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ASKED
HIM
WHY HE WANTED AN INVESTIGATION
ARE
SHERIFF? THIS HAS BEEN ASKED AND
ANSWERED, MAN.
NAPIER CALLED INTO THE JAMES T.
HARRIS RADIO SHOW AND SAID HE
ASKED THE ARIZONA SHERIFF'S
ASSOCIATION TO BACK HIM UP ON
THE NEED FRESPONSE FROM MARK BRNOVICH.
"IT'S WELL-KNOWN THAT SHERIFF
NAPIER, THE ARIZONA SHERIFF'S
ASTION ARE
ALWAYS TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ANY
CLAIM OR SUGGESTION
OTHERWISE IS LUDICROUS. THERE'S
NOTHING MORE WE CAN ADD
BECAUSE THIS OFFICE DOESVACASE SERIOUSLY? CAMERON: I WANT
TO HOPE SO.
MEANTIME, CAMERON SAYS HE'S
THINK YOU'RE GOING TO BE
FIRED? CAMERON: THERE'S A
POSSIBILITY. YEAH,
STRONG POSSIBLITY. I COULD BE
DEMOTED.
I REACHED OUT TO SHERIFF NAPIER
AFTER I RECEIVED THE RECORDING
THAFTER THE
INVESTIGATION.
I OFFERED HIM THE OPPORTUNITY
AGAIN TODAY.
THIS TIME HE RESPONDED --
"I AM ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENT THE

ME, OR ANY MEMBER OF PCSD, TO
DISCUSS THE MATTER DURING
THE ONGOING REVIEW BY
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE."
BUT I RECENTLY GOT MY HANDS ON A
