Senator’s son to seek new civil trial against Joe Arpaio
The adult son of outgoing U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake will seek a new civil trial against a candidate seeking to replace Flake - Joe Arpaio - based on allegations that the then-sheriff brought a trumped-up criminal case against him in the deaths of 21 dogs at an Arizona kennel. Austin Flake and his ex-wife lost a malicious-prosecution lawsuit against Arpaio at a trial in December.
