Sheriff avoids charges over suspension of Navajo County deputy
District Attorney Forrest Buffington will not file charges against McKinley County Sheriff Felix Begay for witness intimidation in the suspension of Sgt. Joe Diaz. Buffington cited statute wording that crime requires threats to a person or property, not firing someone. Diaz testified Begay was prejudiced against Hispanics, and his suspension could affect the Carrillo case, with San Juan DA Alan Whitehead to take over as needed.
