Overoye's 'procedure' of referring complaints directly back to local agencies was noted as a consistent practice, leading to threats, intimidation, and fear for complaining individuals in Mariposa County. |
Arnold Overoye was an individual in the California Attorney General's Office in Sacramento. He initially agreed with Assistant United States Attorney James White that Roderick Sinclair should be prosecuted in connection with the "Queen's accident." However, when the original California Highway Patrol report crossed John Van de Kamp's desk, Van de Kamp told Overoye and his assistant to "discard" or "trash" it.1
Overoye's "procedure" of referring complaints directly back to local agencies was noted as a consistent practice, leading to threats, intimidation, and fear for complaining individuals in Mariposa County. This practice, along with the inaction of John Van de Kamp and federal agencies, reportedly extended to a number of foothill counties experiencing similar local corruption.1
