COLORADO SHERIFF, DEPUTY NAILED FOR MULTIPLE CHARGES, INCLUDING CORPSE ABUSE
When local law enforcement goes bad, it tends to go very, very bad. But usually we find out that it’s due to serious corruption, with collusion, theft and money laundering on top of police brutality. Most often when it comes to incompetence and negligence, it’s a website dedicated to incredibly stupid criminals making law enforcement’s job all too easy. But for the Costilla County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado, it looks like lazy incompetence on top of brutality is what’s on the menu. Literally half of all the officers, including the Sheriff himself, have been nailed for multiple charges, even including corpse abuse.

IS THE COUNTY RELIEVED AT THE CHARGES, OR CONCERNED THEY ONLY HAVE 3 COPS LEFT?
All told, the officers involved in the corpse abuse include Sheriff Danny Sanchez, Former Deputy Keith Schultz, Undersheriff Cruz Soto and Sergeant Sanchez (the Sheriff’s son) that are facing charges. To be fair to basic math, I have to note that Costilla County now only has 3 officers on duty, meaning it’s actually more than half the office that’s facing charges. This leaves the county either relieved that things are being cleaned up, or concerned that the sparsely populated area doesn’t have enough law enforcement on duty. I suspect both sentiments are at play.

SHERIFF LEFT BONES IN A PAPER BAG, FORGOT ABOUT THEM FOR 2 MONTHS
The whole situation came to light because of the discovery of unidentified remains in the county. Members of the Sheriff’s Office collected the remains in a paper grocery bag and then left that bag in an unsecured location. As a result, some of the remains were lost, which included teeth. And then, somehow, it took Sheriff Sanchez an astonishing two months to write a report. His explanation? He left the bones in the bag, on his desk, and took another call. The Coroner’s office eventually received the skull in a paper bag with no label!
Good luck, Costilla County!
