Pima County supervisors have ordered a hearing for Sheriff Chris Nanos after a Nov. 6 TSA report revealed a loaded, undeclared firearm was found in his carry‑on at a Tucson‑area airport and an independent investigation concluded a preponderance of evidence that he abused his office for political gain during the 2024 sheriff’s race. The action comes amid renewed scrutiny of his handling of the Feb. 1 disappearance of 84‑year‑old Nancy Guthrie — including criticisms that the crime scene was mishandled — and a $100,000 reward backer urging tipsters to bypass the sheriff’s office and contact Pima County Crime Stoppers for anonymity.
