Prescott police detective investigated deputy fire chief’s case despite decades

Matt Massucci always thought the case against him was biased. Despite “false allegations” made by a local deputy fire chief and his family, Massucci and his defense attorneys believed the case was pushed forward by Prescott police because of the chief’s status in the community. What they didn’t know? Prescott Det. John Hanna, who handled the case against Massucci, has had a decades-long connection to Central Arizona Fire Deputy Chief Dustin Parra, and the pair has even co-coached their sons in recent years, according to yearbook photos and social media posts.
