Episode Details

Buckeye Police Officer Carri Carrico, once hailed as a MADD Hero for her work cracking down on impaired drivers, now faces aggravated assault charges after a grand jury indicted her over two separate use-of-force incidents involving individuals in custody. Suspended without pay, Carrico’s case stems from findings by an independent Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office investigation, which was requested by Chief Robert Sanders. While details of the incidents remain undisclosed, the severity of the allegations led to formal charges. Sanders stressed that one officer’s actions shouldn’t define the entire department, and the police are cooperating fully with ongoing legal and internal reviews. The community is urged to judge the department by the daily professionalism of its majority, not the misconduct of a single individual.
