COLORADO SPRINGS — The El Paso County commissioners met in emergency session Friday, and the FBI and local district attorney indicated they are looking into potential misconduct in the sheriff’s office.

All come in the wake of allegations published Friday in The Gazette that Sheriff Terry Maketa had sexual relationships with three subordinates and promoted them to top jobs.

An FBI special agent in Colorado Springs called The Gazette on Friday and asked for any financial documents the newspaper might have relating to the sheriff’s office. He said he was doing a preliminary investigation.

Called for comment, FBI spokesman Dave Joly said he could not confirm or deny whether there is an investigation.
