Sheriff Ralph Obenberger – Mono County Sheriff’s Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2011, Sheriff Obenberger initiated an investigation against Deputy Jonathan Madrid for alleged theft of county gasoline, which was found to be unfounded. He also ordered Madrid to sit in a chair in the front lobby for nine hours a day, a practice deemed ‘demeaning and insulting’ by an arbitrator. Additionally, Obenberger was accused of attempting to stop Madrid from receiving disability benefits and was found to have acted in a ‘discriminatory and capricious manner’ leading to Madrid’s wrongful termination. A court ordered Madrid’s reinstatement and compensation for lost wages.
