Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is reopening an investigation into the shooting of Deputy Louie Puroll following last week's Phoenix New Times story that examined whether Puroll's version of events added up.
The news release from the Pinal County Sheriff's Department:
On April 30th, 2010 Pinal County Sheriff’s Deputy Louie Puroll was involved in a shooting with individuals in the Vekol Valley. This shooting drew both local and national attention.The shooting was investigated by the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The criminal investigation had concluded and the facts of the case confirmed the accounts of the event as Deputy Puroll described.
Last week, the below two individuals reported to a Phoenix media outlet that they felt Deputy Puroll had been shot at a close distance (“within a couple of inches”) and not at a distance as
Out of Douglas comes more sad news for the Krentz family.
Sue Krentz, widow of Rob Krentz, murdered by a suspected drug scout on his ranch on March 27, was struck by a car as she was leaving St. Luke's Catholic Church on 15th Street in Douglas Saturday night. The incident occurred about 6 p.m.
Krentz was seriously injured and airlifted to University Medical Center in Tucson. She was thrown 30 feet and suffered a broken pelvis, head and facial injuries and internal bleeding, according to family friend Gary Thrasher, a Cochise County veterinarian.
She underwent surgery and has had blood transfusions. The latest word is she is conscious and in stable condition, says another friend, Douglas rancher Wendy Glenn. Glenn's daughter, Kelly, is in touch with the Krentz family, several of whom have gathered at UMC.
Thrasher added that one of those on hand at the UMC emergency room was Dr. Roland Snure, a neighbor and close friend of the Krentz family. Dr. Snure was among the speakers who eulogized Rob Krentz at his funeral service in Douglas.
The driver of the car who struck Krentz has been identified as Ramon Saucedo of Pirtleville. He has reportedly been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
Also injured in the incident was Shirley Gregory, a former Douglas High School physical-education teacher believed to be in her early 80s. Krentz was helping her across the street at sunset when they were stuck, Saucedo claiming the sun blinded him.
Glenn says Krentz and Gregory were airlifted to UMC in separate helicopters after police cleared the area to allow the choppers to land. Gregory also suffered a broken pelvis and a broken leg.
"Shirley is just a wonderful, beautiful lady, just the sweetest person," says Glenn.
As for Sue, Glenn says she had been doing better recently; she's been more able to maintain her composure when speaking of her late husband.
"On Thursday night, she was at the County Fair when they dedicated it to Rob," says Glenn. "The state land commissioner came down and presented a plaque in memory of Rob, and a lot of people got up and spoke. Sue has been at so many places where Rob has been honored, and she's done really well."
It has helped, says Glenn, that Sue has had a lot of friends and family around her. But she has also had the support of strangers and a few national political figures. Sue and four of her friends attended the recent Glenn Beck rally on the Washington Mall.
