SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. (AP) β€” As many as 10 Cochise County employees are under investigation and five have resigned over allegations that they violated the county's computer use policy by visiting entertainment and pornographic sites.

The Sierra Vista Herald reports (http://bit.ly/2bXUZ53 ) that City Administrator Jim Vlahovich says employees who resigned did so after computer records showed visits to inappropriate websites.

Sheriff Mark Dannels says 10 employees are under investigation to determine if the county's computer logs and the activity reports of his deputies are accurate.

Dannels says the investigation began after he was notified that some employees were streaming television through Netflix or viewing pornography on the county's time.

None of the computer use violations were considered for criminal charges. County Attorney Brian McIntyre says the names of those involved will not be released.
