Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas isn't through with disgraced referee Tim Donaghy.
Thomas sent a letter to the United States Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, New York, requesting information from the completed federal investigation of Donaghy, a former NBA official.
Thomas and his office want to determine if Donaghy broke any Arizona law. Donaghy refereed games between the Suns and Lakers in April and May of 2007.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn has said that the Donaghy investigation records would not be available until after the investigation was concluded.
Last month, a federal judge sentenced Donaghy to 15 months in prison after Donaghy pled guilty to two felony counts alleging he took payoffs from gamblers.
Thomas has now sent a follow-up letter requesting the information.
“As chief prosecutor of Maricopa County, the site of NBA games implicated in this matter, I wish to be given the opportunity to ascertain as to whether or not Arizona law has been
violated," Thomas said in the letter.
