PHOENIX — Gov. Jan Brewer has selected a former FBI agent as the new director of the state Department of Homeland Security.

Brewer says Gilbert Orrantia’s 27 years with the FBI provides him with valuable experience in counterterrorism and other fields related to his new post.

Since leaving the FBI, Orrantia has served as director of an investigations and consulting firm.

Orrantia is replacing Leesa Berens Morrison. She announced her resignation late last month.

This archive contains all the stories that appeared on the Tucson Citizen's website from mid-2006 to June 1, 2009.

In 2010, a power surge fried a server that contained all of videos linked to dozens of stories in this archive. Also, a server that contained all of the databases for dozens of stories was accidentally erased, so all of those links are broken as well. However, all of the text and photos that accompanied some stories have been preserved.
