to reverse the sheriff’s hiring of Mandoyan, citing claims that the deputy had abused, harassed and stalked a woman. The department’s review of the evidence in the case prompted his firing under then-Sheriff Jim McDonnell in 2016, a move that was later backed up by the Civil Service Commission.
Greg Smith, Mandoyan’s attorney, says his client got into a verbal argument with the woman but did not abuse her.
