Overview

• Board members voted 5–0 to issue a formal notice of intent to remove Sheriff Corpus under the March charter amendment approved by 84 percent of voters.
• A 400-page independent report by retired Judge LaDoris Cordell accused Corpus of retaliation, abuse of power, use of racist and homophobic language, and an improper relationship with her chief of staff.
• County chief probation officer John Keene will preside over a pre-removal conference scheduled within five days, after which a four-fifths vote is needed to advance the removal.
• Sheriff Corpus denies all misconduct allegations, has filed a $10 million lawsuit alleging withheld records, and her attorneys plan to seek a court-ordered stay of the proceedings.
• Officials estimate the full removal process, including potential appeals and live testimony before a neutral hearing officer, could take up to four months.
