Deputy Silva – Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2007, Deputy Silva arrested a woman without a warrant and allegedly fondled her breasts during a routine weapons search. The arrest occurred in front of her church congregation, causing public humiliation. The woman was booked on multiple counts of animal abuse, which were later found to lack supporting evidence. A lawsuit was filed against Deputy Silva and Yavapai County, alleging false arrest and misconduct. The court dismissed some claims but allowed others to proceed.
