Pima County Corrections Officer Michael Flaminio was arrested for two misdemeanor assault charges on Wednesday, December 23. Officer Flaminio has been a corrections officer for twelve years.
According to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, in August of 2020, a use of force incident involving Officer Flaminio prompted detectives to turn the matter over to the Pima County Attorney’s Office for review. The Pima County Attorney’s office declined to pursue felony charges, but probable cause existed for two misdemeanor assault charges.
Officer Flaminio was cited and released for both assault charges.
Officer Flaminio has been on paid administrative leave since August 15th, while the criminal investigation has been conducted.
