Sergeant Paul Holstine – Bullhead City Police Department

In 2008, Sergeant Paul Holstine was assigned to investigate a formal complaint against Sergeant Raul Garzon, alleging an affair with a fellow officer’s ex-wife. Despite concerns about Holstine’s impartiality due to past personal conflicts with Garzon, he proceeded with the investigation. Holstine was accused of verbally abusing, cursing at, and lying to Garzon during the process. The investigation found no evidence of the alleged affair but concluded that Garzon had lied about sending an email. This led to Garzon’s termination, which was later overturned, reinstating him with back pay. Holstine’s conduct during the investigation raised significant concerns about fairness and professionalism.
