The alleged assault occurred during a Christmas party hosted by a supervisor who was arrested then fired from the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
Jamie Donnelly A Pima County Sheriff's Department deputy who accused her supervisor of sexually assaulting her at a Christmas party last year has filed a $900,000 claim against him, Pima County and other law enforcement officials.

Garcia and his girlfriend invited the deputy to stay in their spare room, where she went to rest and fell asleep, the claim said. “The chain of command was not properly followed by either Ricky or Chief Cameron, as direct communication of this type is inappropriate under the circumstances,” the claim said.
The deputy had previously met Garcia in 2007 when she was at the academy, but lost touch after Garcia transferred. She later became a sheriff deputy and the two reconnected in 2021, the claim said. The claim also states that Sheriff Chris Nanos “knew or should have known that policies and practices of his department were inadequate to protect victims of crime” and that there was a “culture of avoiding proper channels and chain of command in conducting official business.”
