Among the images the women said Lamb shared both in messages and in person: a close-up picture of a penis with an offer to measure it; a similar penis picture he showed off on his phone; a photo of an unidentified couple having intercourse with a text telling the recipient to “think about that being you,” punctuated with a devil emoji.

Stannard was a close friend of the Lambs. She said her new husband, an employee in the sheriff’s department, admitted he was engaged in a yearslong “sexual affair”with Mark’s wife, Janel Lamb. Stannard alleged the sheriff facilitated the relationship and then attempted to cover it up.

Sheriff’s employee Hilsabeck said he was part of a group with Lamb, his wife and another woman who exchanged sexual favors. A Facebook chat and photos appear to support her claim.

One woman said Lamb, then a sheriff, threatened her with a felony charge.

Mark Lamb was in his first term as Pinal County sheriff when a woman said he threatened to send state police after her.

“I will call DPS,” threatened Sheriff Lamb.
