Arizona's Former Top
Cop Sued For
Defamation By
Man
Who Was Cleared In
Freeway Shooter
Investigation |
|
"Arizona's former
top cop is being
sued by the man his
investigators once
pegged as the prime
suspect in a
shooting spree that
terrorized the
Valley. Leslie
Merritt Jr., who was
cleared of all
charges in the 2015
I-10 Freeway Shooter
investigation, filed
the defamation
lawsuit this week.
The suit was a
response to a
declaration by
former Department of
Public Safety
Director Frank
Milstead on
12News' "Sunday
Square Off": "Leslie
Merritt, in my
opinion, is still
the freeway shooter,
and we had the right
guy in custody."" |

DPS
Director Gets Warning For Weaving, Driving
90+ MPH On I-17 |
|
Arizona Department of
Public Safety Director Col. Frank
Milstead was pulled over in October for
driving more than 90 miles per hour on the
Interstate 17 and weaving through traffic
without using his turn signal. Body
camera video released by the Yavapai County
Sheriff's Office shows Milstead passing his
badge to the deputy, and later joking with
him about driving too fast. In the video,
the deputy says that he wanted to "educate"
Milstead and would give him a warning only." |

Looking For Answers In Mesa Police Chief's
2011 Wreck |
|
"Documents and expert
opinion show there may be more to a
single-vehicle wreck involving Mesa's police
chief than he's ever disclosed.
The
dispatch log from the incident is missing
nearly 40 pages and the official report
includes no photographs, nor any record of
any eyewitness account despite evidence of
at least one witness coming forward.
Now some are asking whether information may
have been deliberately omitted. State Route
87 north of Payson in Happy Jack can be
unforgiving. A two-lane road where the speed
limit is 65 miles per hour twists and turns
through the Mogollon Rim. That's where Mesa
Police Chief Frank Milstead rolled
his expensive sports car in the summer of
2011." |
