Sheriff & Deputies Indicted for Misconduct, Abuse

Five top officers from the Costilla County Sheriffs Office in Colorado, including Sheriff Danny Sanchez, Undersheriff Cruz Soto, and Sergeant Caleb Sanchez, face felony charges for official misconduct, abuse of a corpse, assault, and failure to intervene. The charges stem from mishandling human remains and using excessive force on a resident in mental distress. The officers allegedly stored bones in a plain paper bag without proper labeling, closed the case prematurely, and used excessive force during an arrest. The district attorneys investigation continues, with more complaints under review. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
