							| Former DES Chief Tim Jeffries, Onetime Aide Sues Arizona For Libel | 
						
							| "Former state Department of 
							Economic Security Director Tim Jeffries and 
							Charles 
							Loftus, his ex-protective services chief, have filed 
							a lawsuit against the state alleging Gov. 
							Doug 
							Ducey's administration libeled them in an 
							investigative report about ammunition stockpiled at 
							the social services agency. [...]
							The state's 
							police agency in July released an audit that claimed 
							Jeffries stockpiled an "excessive" amount of 
							ammunition and firearms to "create his own police 
							force" at DES, which is responsible for 
							distributing social services to needy Arizonans. 
							[...] About a month later, Jeffries said the report 
							caused "considerable damage" to his professional 
							reputation. He sought $5.1 million in damages 
							through a notice of claim, a precursor to filing a 
							lawsuit against the state." |
