PHOENIX -- The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office wants the Pima County Administrator to fire the county's chief legal defender, according to a letter sent to the administrator's office.Chief Legal Defender Isabel Garcia appeared at Sheriff Joe Arpaio's book signing in Tucson last week and reportedly participated in a mock assault and decapitation of the Maricopa County sheriff."Her actions suggested her minions violently assault Sheriff Arpaio," wrote Maricopa County Deputy Chief John McIntyre in a letter to Pima County Administrator Chuck Huckleberry. "This is a travesty."McIntyre also chided Huckleberry for using a "head-in-the-sand approach that Ms. Garcia can do whatever she wants on her own time."For his part, Arpaio said he was "disgusted" with Garcia's conduct."As an officer of the court and a person in a position of public trust, her actions reflect poorly on Pima County," Arpaio said.
