by Kelly Fisher | Casa Grande Dispatch
Some former county officials have accused Pinal County Attorney Kent Volkmer of defamation and are requesting a public apology and retraction of some statements, according to a notice to Volkmer from a Scottsdale attorney.
Volkmer’s predecessor, Lando Voyles, former Sheriff Paul Babeu and Voyles’ former Chief of Staff Dwight Fujimoto spurred the notice in regard to Volkmer’s apparent “defamatory statements … made with malice” regarding their management of RICO-seized funds while in office.
