Saban accuses Arpaio of distorting the facts

Maricopa County Sheriff candidate Dan Saban is accusing Sheriff Joe Arpaio of misrepresenting facts to make his office look better.  Last week Arpaio appeared on John Hook’s Newsmaker Sunday FOX10 show defending the $43M the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has paid in lawsuits. During that appearance he claimed the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department paid out more than $400M in lawsuits over the past five years.

Saban’s campaign contacted the LASD Civil Litigation Unit who claimed the number was closer to $60 million than $400 million.
