Bill Crawford, who owns Basic Fitness gym in Scottsdale, said he is acting as private citizen and not on Arpaio’s behalf. “I’m not doing this as a posse member. No one in his office asked me to do this,” he said. “And shame on Phil Gordon for what he has done.”
The complaint comes days after Gordon had sent a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s office asking federal agents to investigate whether Arpaio violated civil rights laws during his recent crackdown on suspected illegal immigrants.
