Legal Question in Employment Law in Arizona

Withholding last paycheck

I recently changed employers and the company I have left is refusing to distribute my last paycheck. According to my ex manager I have not returned a set of security bits that were issued to me, the only bits I have are the ones that I own. I never signed any paper for the bits or have ever seen them before. Are they actually allowed to do this? How do I go about getting paid or is it a dead end?
