TUCSON, Ariz. — A judge will have to determine whether remarks made by a Pima County Sheriff 's Department sergeant constitute free speech or a violation of departmental conduct, based on a lawsuit against Sheriff Chris Nanos and the agency.
During the interview, Cross said,"As I mentioned the Association, they’re commonly viewed as being completely in the pocket of Sheriff Nanos." Cross is also a member of the statewide union AZ-COPS, providing legal representation to its members. His attorney, Steve Serbalik, stated that the lawsuit was filed after Cross requested the cancellation of an internal interview on April 26, citing First Amendment violations. Serbalik added,"He was ordered to discuss issues as a condition of his employment that have absolutely no business being compelled.
Sheriff Nanos confirmed the investigation was complete and no wrongdoing was found during Cross's April 20 radio interview. Nanos stated,"It’s his right to sue and I have attorneys as well. But I think a court of law would rule in our favor."
