Sheriff in Nancy Guthrie Case Sued for $176M Months After $25M Lawsuit
The sheriff leading the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie is now facing a $176 million legal claim.
In a separate case filed months after a $25 million lawsuit, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is now facing a $176 million legal claim. The claim was filed by 24-year-old Axeel Melendez, who alleges that deputies permanently paralyzed him while responding to a false "swatting" call at his home. Melendez claims deputies entered his home without cause and opened fire, leading to his paralysis. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and Nanos have not publicly commented on the claim as it is pending litigation.
