Joey Banuelos, a commander with the @MCoSheriff department, was FIRED by Sheriff Scott Miller for lying on his time slips, when he put in for overtime.

His fellow deputies, who I will not name, snitched on him (that was a good thing boys).

Their reporting to me led to

Banuelos being fired after I gave the information to then Sheriff Scott Miller, who I successfully ran to replace a corrupt Mike Kanalakis in 2010.

Banuelos was then rehired by @SheriffBernal (who is a criminal IMO) and promoted.

This is a sick bunch of criminal cops. ImageImage

Did you ask the Vice President about corruption plaguing California's entree into legal weed?

... because it's a problem. A big one.

Cannabis markets should have been a model for fairness, equity and lawful conduct. Instead it's the opposite.

Warren’s lawsuit claims Houser has no supervisory authority over Seaside officers. But Veloz says he does, since Sakhrani was working on the investigation as a member of the sheriff’s multi-agency drug task force.

@SafeSeaside , a department @AbdulPridgen currently runs, runs around with a bunch of bad narcotics cops (or did in 2011) and ran political jobs masked as legitimate law enforcement work.

Another great report from ⁦@Calkins_Royal⁩. Fact about Brannon, he loaned $20,000 to the DA for her ..

maiden voyage into the world of politics in 2018. The DA ran unopposed to replace a troubled Dean Flippo.

Berk Brannon is married to Santa Cruz judged Denine Guy. So it's a small universe in the world of politics.

Berk Brannon is the number two at the DA's office and was

Brannon was awoken to the Banuelos file (that was sitting on the shelf somewhere at the DA's office in 2011) by @MontereyHerald reporter @grlreporter, who asked
