Arizona sheriff in Nancy Guthrie investigation faces recall efforts

Amid the ongoing search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, the Arizona sheriff leading the investigation's future is being questioned.

Amid the ongoing search for Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, the future of the Arizona sheriff leading the investigation is in question.

A recall petition is being circulated against Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos in light of outrage over the misrepresentation of his work history in a sworn deposition, according to reporting from the Arizona Republic, part of the USA TODAY Network.

Daniel Butierez, a Tucson Republican running in Arizona's deep-blue 7th Congressional District, is currently collecting signatures for a potential recall of Nanos.

"I'm looking for people to help us out, get involved, go out, get signatures, you can have Democrats, independents, Republicans, sign these as long as they live within Pima County," he said in a Facebook video. "Help us get these done, get these signed, and let's get the sheriff out of office and get someone in there that we can feel confident in."

Court records show Nanos, who is serving a second elected term as the top law enforcement officer for Pima County, also misrepresented his early work history on his public resume. His work history will be up for discussion when the county's Board of Supervisors meets on March 24.
