    Commander Cheryl Powell was named in a lawsuit by former officer Kevin Halbig, who alleged that Powell and Sheriff Gary Butler falsely reported him for fraudulent use of a credit card in June 2008. Halbig contended that Powell’s actions were aimed at undermining his candidacy for sheriff. The court determined that Halbig had adequately stated a claim for retaliation under the First Amendment. This case is detailed in Halbig v. Navajo County, No. CV09-8124 PCT DGC, United States District Court, D. Arizona, February 2, 2010.

    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))

Our Mission

We're building a comprehensive database of police interactions to promote accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

How You Can Participate

Violation of these rules will result in immediate content removal and possible account suspension.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
