Maricopa County elections officials will reportedly need to spend thousands of dollars to reprogram security equipment after an apparent theft at an election facility.
On June 20, surveillance footage within the Maricopa County elections building in downtown Phoenix captured an employee taking a “security fob” and keys off a desk before putting them in his pocket.
According to police documents, the employee was questioned about the alleged theft, but he denied taking the security fob and keys.
The next day, detectives went to the man’s home and saw part of the keys in his vehicle. He was arrested and told police that he was fired from his temporary job at the facility because “they thought he stole something.”
The individual then said he took the items to “clean up” in hopes it would lead to a permanent job. The security fob was not recovered.
Documents say the security fobs secure tablets during the election and, because the fob was not located, equipment at the facility will need to be reprogrammed, which is expected to cost around $20,000 or more.
