It was the second advertisement in as many months calling for a new leader for the Pima County Sheriffβs Department.
The picture featured Sheriff Mark Napier with a stretched, Pinocchio-like nose, and reads βA State Commission says Sheriff Napier β and his top command β LIED UNDER OATH! If you canβt trust your Sheriff, who can you trust?β
It appeared in last Sundayβs Arizona Daily Star.
βI donβt believe any of them. I think they lied to us,β also appears at the bottom of the anti-Napier ad.
The quote was taken from Mike Hellon, a member of the Law Enforcement Merit and System Council, stemming from allegations Napier and members of his command staff committed perjury during a merit board hearing.
The ad was paid for by βNanos for Sheriffβ in support of Napierβs predecessor, Chris Nanos, who is seeking the post after losing in the 2016 election.
