Those words come from another round of accusations against Joe Arpaio’s right-hand man, David Hendershott, who was put on leave yesterday after charged yesterday with broad allegations of misconduct in a 63-page memorandum from a deputy chief of the office.

[Correction: Hendershott was already on medical leave; two other of Arpaio’s department henchmen were put on leave yesterday.)

Pinal country Sheriff Paul Babeu will investigate the charges, the Republic reports this a.m.:

The memorandum, authored by Deputy Chief Frank Munnell, describes an oppressive work environment in which Hendershott is alleged to have threatened and retaliated against subordinates who questioned him and browbeat others into refusing to cooperate with federal and state investigations into the Sheriff’s Office. Hendershott is the office’s second-in-command and runs the sheriff’s day-to-day operations.

The comments above about Hendershott come from another former sheriff’s office lieutenant, Roy Reyer, who was interviewed by 12 News last night.

In it he says that Hendershott had kept two sets of books for one of the office’s youth programs, and that he’d been directed by Hendershott to falsify documents and statistics. After he resisted, he said, his career in the department was ruined.
