According to the public official, "employee 3" told him she was going to take Corpus down. She's been under fire since a scathing audit report released in November, but now, her legal team is calling into question the credibility of a key witness cited dozens of times in that report. I-Team reporter Dan Noyes has exclusive information about the witness called "civilian employee 3. Both sides are preparing for the legal battles ahead.
One public official has already agreed to testify under oath at the proper time, about threats he allegedly heard from "civilian employee 3" -- that she wanted to take down the sheriff because she didn't get a promotion. It's been quite a turnaround for "civilian employee 3.
And she took on a public role when Corpus ran for sheriff -- volunteering on the campaign, attending the kickoff rally, and introducing Corpus to voters online. It's a much different story now. Employee 3 campaigned on her social media for Measure A to give the Board of Supervisors the power to fire the sheriff, saying Corpus is unfit for duty.
But, a public official in Millbrae tells the I-Team, he will testify under oath at the proper time that, on 12 to 15 different occasions, "employee 3" told him she was going to get Corpus. I obtained an interview the public official gave to the sheriff's legal team in which he identifies employee 3 and says, "I have information that was conveyed to me directly by 'employee 3' that she was out to get Sheriff Corpus after she was elected and that she would do anything to bring her down.
That public official said employee 3 expected a promotion once Corpus became sheriff, after the work she did on the campaign, but it never happened and employee 3 was furious. Again, a quote from the public official's interview: "I remember she was 'I'm going to get that bleep a couple of different times and saying that she's going to go after her and this is the way that employee 3 talks, 'Oh, bleep's going to come down on her,' that type of language and communication.
