GILBERT, AZ â A 13-year veteran with the Gilbert Police Department is being accused of sexual assault while off-duty.
Police say the department was notified of Officer Justin Betts alleged misconduct involving an adult female in December of last year.
Officials say Gilbert detectives immediately began criminal and internal investigations into the alleged acts. Betts was placed in an administrative role during the investigation.
On February 4, 2021, Gilbert detectives finished their investigation and submitted the case to the Maricopa County Attorney s Office for review. Police say Betts is facing charges of attempted sexual abuse and public sexual indecency.
Police, Allies Fight Back as Soros-Funded Liberal DAs Oversee Big-City Bloodshed
James Varney, Washington Times, February 1, 2021
District attorneys implementing liberal agendas in some of America’s biggest cities oversaw soaring homicide counts last year and are now being hit with lawsuits and recriminations from police agencies.
Angry police officers and their backers are doing all they can to boost a May primary challenge to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, who refuses to prosecute some gun possession and drug crimes.
A California court is scheduled to hear a lawsuit Tuesday filed by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys in Los Angeles against District Attorney George Gascon. The suit accuses Mr. Gascon of illegally blocking prosecutors from pursuing enhanced sentencing in violent crimes and other major criminal cases.
“It’s like we don’t have a prosecutor here, we have two public defenders,” Los Angeles ADDA President Michele Hanisee said.
Ms. Hanisee echoed complaints from police and prosecutors in Philadelphia, Chicago, Los Angeles and St. Louis all cities that witnessed record homicide rates in 2020 or enormous increases from the previous year’s tally.
The homicide sprees in those four cities occurred on the watch of district attorneys who came to power with the help of political action committees bankrolled by billionaire liberal activist George Soros, who increasingly devotes his largesse to municipal law-and-order races.
The millions of dollars that Mr. Soros’ PACs pumped into the races dwarfed spending in previous district attorney elections.

National Fire Sprinkler AssociationJanuary 29, 2021 GMT
Natick, MA, Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) On January 26th, a family, a community, a company, a public safety dispatcher, and the fire department experienced a tragedy because of a fast-moving fire in a Natick, Massachusetts home. This fire claimed the life of a male occupant. The fire broke out around 2 a.m. with a couple inside, both in different parts of the house.
Modern furnishings and open floor plans of modern homes have been tested in actual field settings and laboratory settings where fast-moving fires resulted, creating no visibility in the homes within a few minutes. Because of the fast-moving fire and heavy flames in the Natick home that firefighters encountered upon their initial arrival, they were unable to enter and the fire went to three alarms.
