Is Penzone perhaps hiding some misdeeds?
Oct 2, 2023
Maricopa County supervisors will need to pick a new county sheriff next year, but details on exactly what that process will entail are sparse.
Current Sheriff Paul Penzone announced Monday that he will step down in January and will not seek a third term in office. County officials said they were caught off guard by his announcement, which came during an afternoon press conference.
"I was shocked," said Supervisor Steve Gallardo, who represents a district that encompasses parts of Phoenix and the southwest Valley. "I wasn't expecting it ... but I respect his decision."
Now, the supervisors are faced with a high-profile vacancy.
