John G. Romero – Arizona Department of Wildlife Rangers

Former law-enforcement boss at the Arizona Game and Fish Department, John G. Romero, embezzled thousands of dollars from an undercover account set up to catch wildlife poachers. He created a covert bank account using a fake identity and siphoned public money for three years before detection. An investigation concluded that Romero improperly authorized his own expenses, with most withdrawals occurring on days he did not work and when his personal bank account was low. He resigned while under investigation in early February 2013. ([coueswhitetail.com](https://www.coueswhitetail.com/forums/topic/40513-azgf-in-the-news-1/?utm_source=openai))

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.
