Pinal Sheriff Needs Donations To Arm Deputies
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said his deputies are outmanned and outgunned when it comes to battling drug cartels.The Pinal County Justice Foundation is asking the public to donate money so that they can equip deputies with rifles. Babeu said the guns purchased with donations would go to first responders. The sheriff said they need to raise $150,000. A CBS 5 News investigation last November revealed the Mexican drug cartel relies heavily on smugglers from Arizona to stockpile their arsenal. That arsenal, officials said, is used in gun battles along the border. Posted by: Fred 2010-08-04 |
