DescriptionLongtime Maricopa County Supervisor Don Stapley has been indicted on more than 100 felony and misdemeanor counts stemming from a suspected failure to disclose interests in millions of dollars worth of property and other business dealings.

A joint investigation by the Maricopa County Attorney's and Sheriff's offices alleged that Stapley failed to disclose millions of dollars of loans, hundreds of thousands of dollars in deposits from checking accounts into business accounts, real-estate deals in Pinal County, and other assets. The investigation reportedly turned up irregularities in Stapley's financial-disclosure forms going back to 1994.

For example, the County Attorney's Office said that Stapley also failed to reveal a bankruptcy by one of his companies and that the assets listed on a 2006 loan application varied from the assets he listed on his 2006-07 financial-disclosure form.
