🚨 Walker County Sheriff’s Dirty Secret: Whistleblower Punished for Exposing Dangerous Deputy

When an investigator uncovered that a current Walker County deputy had his Arizona law enforcement certification revoked for putting a gun to a woman’s head during a traffic stop—and that Sheriff Nick Smith knowingly hired him anyway—Smith’s response wasn’t to fire the deputy. He fired the investigator. The civil service board ruled the firing was wrong, but Smith is still fighting to keep the whistleblower out. This is corruption at its core.
