San Mateo County Sheriff Christina Corpus has denied allegations that Sergeant Joe Fava was suspended for providing evidence related to her alleged mishandling of deputy misconduct. Fava was identified as part of a pattern of retaliation claimed by the Sergeants' Union, led by President Hector Acosta. The controversy includes Fava's administrative leave coinciding with reports of her interference in investigations and prior punitive actions against Deputy Carlos Tapia, who was wrongly accused of timecard fraud. The union claims accountability by Corpus is selectively applied based on personal loyalties.
Sheriff Christina Corpus denied that she suspended Sgt. Joe Fava for providing evidence to outside investigators concluding she mishandled deputy misconduct complaints.
Sergents' Union President Hector Acosta stated that accountability is only enforced by Corpus when it fits her narrative and that some deputies are targeted if they oppose her.
Fava's leave followed a Daily Post story alleging Corpus delayed or interfered with internal investigations, including serious allegations against deputies and jail guards.
Corpus ordered the arrest of Deputy Carlos Tapia under false allegations of timecard fraud, which was dismissed by the District Attorney for lack of evidence.
