ST. JOHNS, AZ (AZFamily) – Voter intimidation, allegations of embezzlement of taxpayers’ money and now links to a Norwegian pop star.

Apache County District Attorney Michael Whiting is involved in everything.

The controversial chief prosecutor is not even allowed to enter his office after four of his staff filed for restraining orders against him, alleging harassment.

The office of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes is investigating Whiting.

They executed a search warrant for this office and this house in June.

In a letter to the Apache County Board of Supervisors, they stated that the case involved “the alleged misuse of public funds and the threatening and intimidation of a political opponent.”

In videos and photos posted on social media, Whiting is seen being a fanboy of Norwegian pop star Dagny and her music.

On one of his trips to Europe to visit her, he brought back tote bags from his anti-bullying campaign.

In another video, the pop star can be seen wearing one of the anti-bullying shirts.

That’s thousands of miles from Apache County and his office.

“As a prosecutor, your job is to enforce the rule of law. Your job is to follow the law,” Seth Goertz, a former federal prosecutor, told Arizona’s Family in June when the allegations first came to light.

The focus is on political opponent Fernando Madrid. Madrid ran against Whiting’s wife Joy for the post of Apache County School Superintendent.

Arizona’s Family Investigates has obtained the letter Madrid sent to the election official in March explaining why he dropped out of the race.

“I do not wish to put myself in danger and I do not wish for my immediate family … to continue to be followed, questioned, approached and harassed,” Madrid wrote.

In this letter he mentions an attack.

Arizona’s Family Investigates also obtained the police report from the St. Johns Police Department.

In it, the police note that Madrid was collecting signatures for a run in front of a church when two men approached.

He said one of them “crumpled up the petition and threw it on the ground.”

The other hit the clipboard and knocked it “out of his hand”.

One of them added: “Michael Whiting is just getting started with you.” Police took the report and forwarded it to the Attorney General’s Office.

“This is the face of the agency. This is the chief prosecutor in this district,” Goertz said.

Arizona’s Family Investigates reached out to Whiting and his attorney, but neither responded.

The Attorney General’s Office said the investigation was ongoing and no charges had been filed against Whiting.

In earlier emails, Whiting denied any wrongdoing.

In the meantime, Michael and Joy Whiting continue to run for re-election and have no opponent.
