Arambula now alleges while at his home that night, officers conspired to cover up the mistake. Michael Manning, Arambula’s attorney, said the 911 tape helps prove the claim.”

Phoenix New Times:  “‘You’ve got to be kidding.’ . . . That’s what Don Stapley said as sheriff’s deputies arrested him September 21 in the county parking garage.  They actually arrested Don Stapley without an indictment, without a grand jury, without even consulting a prosecutor. In fact, they cuffed a county supervisor and hauled him off to court without bothering to secure charges against him.  Two weeks after the chaos of the arrest, the situation is clear: Maricopa County is captive to the whims of a police force all too eager to use its powers to harass its enemies and distract us from its manifold failures.”

The corporate executives in charge at the time are now at different schools.  But the case continues to dog the nation’s largest private university.”
