Pinal sheriff turns down security detail

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

[This is the Sheriff who said he is not going to enforce SB-1070.]

FLORENCE, AZ – Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says he will not request a personal security detail after receiving “credible” threats against his life.

Sheriff’s officials say Babeu has been outspoken about the need to secure the border with Mexico and protect citizens from both drug smuggling and human trafficking.

According to a department statement, individuals have made threats against the sheriff’s life because of his stance on the issue, threats that have been deemed “credible” by outside law enforcement agencies and forwarded to the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office for action and other threats made directly against Babeu and his staff.
