A former Nevada sheriff’s deputy, Sgt. Michon Mills, has been accused of accepting gifts and giving preferential treatment to Joe Francis in 2007 – and now, she’s going to trial!
Judge Larry Hicks denied a motion to dismiss the trial and it’s expected to continue on Friday.
An associate of Frances had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge as he admitted buying Mills a $4,500 Cartier watch and a $5,000 Saks Fifth Avenue gift card, yet the deputy never considered the gifts a bribe and eventually gave the items back.
Mills’ lawyer claims that the charges should be dismissed because the gift card was a personal birthday present and the watch was a Christmas gift.
Riiiiiiight.
He even got to two other former deputies who accepted gift, such as $3,200 in cash and four tickets to the Oakland Raiders game in exchange for bringing Francis sushi on two different occasions.
Ha!
Many have testifies that Mills let Francis run a muck in the prison. He was allowed to run Girls Gone Wild, thus allowing him to be on the phone 24/7. Many inmates complained about his loud incessant talking!
She also brought him magazines and requested to be informed every time he was disciplined.
Yikes!
