Allister Adel resigns as Maricopa County attorney as scrutiny intensifies

Embattled Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel, who has been under increasing scrutiny due to a battle with alcohol addiction and high-profile snafus within her agency, will resign from office.

Adel announced that she’ll step down at the end of the week, on March 25. In a press statement on Monday, Adel didn’t address the controversies swirling around her tenure, using her announcement to thank supporters and employees of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. 

As of this writing, no one has formed a committee for a run at the office but I expect that jockeying for that position will be intense.
