The Contra Costa District Attorney has recused herself from the filing decision, since the deputy worked in her courtroom more than a decade ago.
MARTINEZ — A Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputy who was arrested by his own agency in late August had reportedly used a falsified police report to steal firearms from a property room containing evidence seized in criminal investigations, according to a probable cause statement written by investigators.
Last week, Contra Costa District Attorney Diana Becton recused herself from a filing decision on Buckley, who served as her bailiff roughly 15 years ago, when Becton was a judge. No decision has yet been made about whether to file charges against Buckley, or what offenses to charge him with. It is also unclear whether another Contra Costa prosecutor will make the decision or if the Attorney General will step in.
