Joe Arpaio and MCSO "Murdered" Ernest "Marty" Atencio, Says Family - Phoenix News - Feathered Bastard

Joe Arpaio and MCSO "Murdered" Ernest "Marty" Atencio, Says Family - Phoenix News - Feathered Bastard

A distraught Mike Atencio, on his way to the hospital to watch his brother Ernest "Marty" Atencio die, told me today that he and his family believe his brother was "murdered" by Sheriff Joe Arpaio's thugs in the Fourth Avenue Jail.

"The sheriff's office murdered my brother," said Atencio, acting as spokesman for his family. "That's what I want to get out to the public right now: Sheriff Joe is murdering inmates."

Atencio said he was told by MCSO Detective Bryan Cluff that his brother was found in his cell without a pulse. This, after being Tasered by detention officers and placed there, Atencio alleged. His brother was already dead before being rushed to St. Joseph's Hospital in Phoenix, he stated.

"To me it's just a ploy, what the sheriff's office has done to this point in time," Atencio told me. "They found him without a pulse. They brought him to the hospital to resuscitate him. It doesn't look very promising...He's hanging by a very thin thread."
