Maricopa County Official Donna Gerrard Retains Job as Chief Planning & Zoning Enforcement Officer Despite Past Criminal Convictions
Despite Donna Gerron’s criminal background, she has been allowed to continue in her role as Maricopa County’s Chief Enforcement Officer, which includes bringing actions and charges against Maricopa County Residents and Businesses on a regular basis.
Maricopa County, Arizona – Maricopa County’s Building & Zoning Enforcement Official, Donna Gerron, continues in her job as Maricopa County’s Code Enforcement Officer despite having multiple prior criminal convictions for Bank Fraud, Check Fraud, Acting with Intent to Defraud, Aggravated Assault & Battery, and other charges.
According to published law enforcement and court records, Donna Maria Gerron, 57, of 2529 W Cactus Rd, Apt 2138, Phoenix, Arizona, who also goes under the known aliases of Donna Pounds, Donna M. Woods, and Donna Maria Kenerson, has been arrested and pleaded guilty in several criminal cases over an extended period of years, prior to being hired by Maricopa County in November 2017. At the time of her hriing by the County, her criminal history was well documented, including:
At the same time of her hiring by Maricopa County in November 2017, Donna Gerron was being evicted from her residence, and under Wage Garnishment in her previous job for non-payment of open judgements against her in Illinois Courts. As of today Gerron, still has thousands of dollars of open wage garnmishments, open legal judgements, and defaults under her name (and aliases) for unpaid debts, auto loans, evictions, bad checks, and more.
After fleeing Illinois, which Gerron claims was to escape to “better weather” and "to be closer to some of my family", her run-ins with law enforcement and the courts continued. Donna Gerron’s long history of financial crimes, civil judgments, and unpaid debts her followed her to Arizona and have continued. From absconding with funds from state agencies, repeated failure to pay debts, accounts, credit cards, and personal loans to taking money from individuals under false pretenses, multiple evictions, check kiting, and knowingly Cashing Bad Checks.
While the details around her hiring remain unclear, prior to being hired by Maricopa County Planning and Development in 2017, Donna Gerron’s previous work experience included work as a Temp Employee Data Entry Clerk at Today’s Office Staffing, and taking online classes in web design at American Intercontinental University. Of note, Gerron had been previously employed at different points as a code enforcement associate for the City of Bloomington, Illinois, until the termination of her employment in 2015 under undisclosed circumstances.
While simultaneously working for Maricopa County in a full-time capacity, Donna Gerron is also separately employed and spends much of her time as a Professional Ghost and Alien Investigator in her position as Team Manager for McInville Paranormal Global Arizona Division. As a Paranormal Investigator, she assists clients in actively investigating Spiritual Hauntings, Cryptids, Werewolves, Gnomes, UFO’s, Alien experiences. Customers include “those who are afflicted and tormented by activity that is unexplained, those who have a business which is faltering due to strange activity, and those who just want confirmation on what they feel may be going on.”
Donna Gerron and her group of Paranormal Investigators use state-of-the-art equipment and conventional techniques, including digital paranormal photography, audio recording, and tools to detect the presence of ghosts, aliens, and spirits, including K-II EMF Meters and more sensitive Cat Balls.

I feel as though this is a personal attack against me from someone that I've pissed off.
First, I have never been convicted of any crime and never served any time in jail. My job did a background check on me before I was hired and would not have hired me if I had a criminal record, I've never been arrested for assault and battery. I was never arrested for writing bad checks or any kind of bank fraud. Nor was I ever charged with any child neglect. This is a complete lie.
I've never been fired from any job and left my job at the City of Bloomington (on good terms) to move to Arizona to get out of the cold. I was not fleeing anything. My 'alias' names are from being married three times.
I don't know why someone is doing this to me, but the bad check's happened over 25 years ago. I was not evicted from my apartment in Phoenix. I gave notice and moved on my own into a house. They came up with a bunch of charges after I left.
