P<strong>im</strong>a County Attorney<strong>'s</strong> Off<strong>ic</strong>e<br />
investigators from the Tucson Pol<strong>ic</strong>e Department and the P<strong>im</strong>a County<br />
Sheriff’s Department are part of the Greenwell/Owens Group.<br />
The efforts of the Greenwell/Owens Group resulted in arrests and<br />
ind<strong>ic</strong>tments of 39 defendants for cr<strong>im</strong>es committed from 2003 to 2005, for<br />
drug traff<strong>ic</strong>king, property cr<strong>im</strong>es, fraud, weapons cr<strong>im</strong>es, and violent and<br />
dangerous cr<strong>im</strong>es such as witness int<strong>im</strong>idation, kidnapping, and sol<strong>ic</strong>itation<br />
to commit murder. By 2008, felony conv<strong>ic</strong>tions had been obtained against<br />
nearly every defendant and two defendants received 25-life sentences. By<br />
working together, members of the Greenwell/Owens Group developed and<br />
carried out a new strategy to expose drug traff<strong>ic</strong>kers and their cr<strong>im</strong>inal<br />
associates to far greater and well-deserved cr<strong>im</strong>inal penalties.<br />
The awards were presented July 16, 2008 at the 28 th Annual Law<br />
Enforcement Pow Wow Award Ceremony in Flagstaff, Arizona.<br />
