Commander Cheryl Powell was named in a 2009 lawsuit by former officer Kevin Halbig, who alleged that Powell and Sheriff Gary Butler falsely reported him for fraudulent use of a credit card. Halbig claimed this led to his arrest and negative media coverage, adversely affecting his campaign for Sheriff. The lawsuit included allegations of retaliation and defamation. The court allowed some claims to proceed while dismissing others. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/halbig-v-navajo-county-2?utm_source=openai))
