Arizona county attorney stops prosecuting some drug charges amid plan to reduce jail population

An Arizona county attorney is suspending the prosecution of certain drug charges after the county administrator announced that the jail population may have to be reduced because of a new policy requiring prison guards to get a coronavirus vaccine.

The change in policy was announced on Tuesday by Pima County Attorney Laura Conover, who said that her office would decline to prosecute people arrested for “simple drug possession, paraphernalia or related personal-use incidents.” Those arrested for a drug charge and a felony, however, will be prosecuted.

Conover said that the change is being made to protect the health of those at the Pima County Jail. She told county law enforcement officers to instead “deflect people to drug treatment,” noting there is a drug treatment center near the Pima County Detention Center.

The policy will be reviewed in 60 days, according to Conover.

Former Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall adopted a similar policy in March 2020. – READ MORE
