Buckeye Councilman Receives Preferential Treatment or Not? You be the judge...

On April 24th CFABB members received a telephone call from a very reliable source informing us of an incident that took place involving Councilman McAchran and his son at their residence. After careful review, research and substantial consideration we feel the citizens of District 1 should be made aware of this incident.

Due to the nature of this incident we have decided it is not morally right to disclose all of the information pertaining to this incident because we feel family issues and minor children should be protected.

The only reason we are even interested in this story is because of how it has been handled by our Town Officials, Management and Police by hiding it from the general public. The following information is what has been discovered to date.

Facts:

1. April 23rd at 7:36 PM police were dispatched to Councilman McAchran’s home. (Public Record dispatch report requested by CFABB on April 27th and received on May 14th.)


2. April 24th at 11:02 PM police were dispatched again to Councilman McAchran’s home. (Public Record dispatch report requested by CFABB on April 27th and received on May 14th.)


3. Local Police Blotter displayed no record of these calls to the Councilman’s McAchran’s home address but instead showed similar incident reports at a location other than Councilman McAchran’s home. (Police Blotter as reported from Arizona Republic website for the period of April 19th – April 25th.)


4. No Public Court records could be obtained on arraignments or Court proceedings with regard to either incident.


5. Through CFABB investigations we have found these cases have been moved to the Town of Goodyear Police Department.


6. Contact with Goodyear Police Department confirms the above to be true but, no information on these cases can be disclosed as a result that they are under investigation.


Conclusions:

As a result of the current Recall efforts supported by CFABB involving Councilman McAchran, we suspect Town Officials and Management felt it was in the Councilman’s best interest this did not become public knowledge. In essence a cover up to protect him during a Recall!

If this is an honest attempt for justice we feel moving this case to Goodyear Police for a complete investigation was the appropriate thing to do since Councilman McAchran’s has ongoing and continuous involvement with the Policeman’s Association as well as certain Buckeye police officers.

When it comes to the law it should not matter who you are whether being an Elected Official or a common Citizen therefore; hopefully justice will be served if the facts pertaining to this case supports it.

However if this just gets swept under the carpet and forgotten, then the Town as a whole has a much bigger problem than one would think.
