So remember that 60-page memo about Arpaio's second-in-command and how it was given to the Pinal County Sheriff to investigate?

The Feds want the report by the 4th.

Things are about to get interesting again. Arpaio was interviewed by investigators for about 6 hours the other day.

The New Times got its hands on some of the evidence for the investigation and published a cover story about it last week; the beginning focuses unduly on E-Mails indicating a relationship between two of the top deputies being investigated, which of course is relevant to the case but for my money doesn't warrant a headline and a lede.

Pretty much what we expected: Hendershott and Black have been forced to resign, while Arpaio continues to claim he knew nothing.

It is, of course, not over by a longshot.

Officers Fired After Taking Patrol Car To Vegas

This is a very minor story, and has little to do with this thread's overall theme, but it's too much of a gas not to share.

THAD EDIT: added headline instead of just straight link.

Huh, thought I URL'd that. Oh well.

CAR 54 WHERE ARE YOU?

If I were an attorney, I would have advised them to rent a very fast car with no top. And they'd need the cocaine. Tape recorder for special music. Acapulco shirts.

But it's too late, they already went to Las Vegas.

They should have taken their attorney with them, clearly.

3 deputies arrested on human and drug smuggling charges.

Lemons asks where the hell are the indictments.

Büge · « **Reply #248 on:** May 24, 2011, 07:00:45 PM »

Why hasn't he been indicted, exactly?

Thad · « **Reply #249 on:** May 24, 2011, 07:55:10 PM »

tl;dr the Justice Department is more interested in making threatening remarks about medical marijuana.

State of "Emergency" declared in AZ town over "Allegations"

So basically Arpaio is just symptomatic of a whole state run amok at the local level?

Look. We can explain. See, it's REALLY, REALLY hot.

Ziiro · « **Reply #252 on:** July 14, 2011, 10:59:46 AM »

Seems like a legit excuse to me. Carry on.

Quartzsite is Froot Loops. My grandfather lives there and once told me that his dogs had been poisoned as political revenge against the mayor, who he was friends with.

I am not saying that his dogs were actually poisoned as political revenge against the mayor. I am merely saying that if they weren't and my grandfather's just a conspiracy nut, then he's fairly representative of the general population there.

Sheriff Joe hires Steven Seagal to conduct a raid using tanks and heavy ammunition for Seagal's reality show, kills man's dog and 100 roosters.

Fuck those men sideways.

It's not even the first time MCSO's been accused of killing somebody's dog in a raid involving a tank.

It also bears noting, for those not from 'round here, that Arpaio's also set himself up as a champion against animal cruelty.

County pays $100K settlement to retired judge who sued after Arpaio and Thomas bullied him.

We'll be seeing plenty more like this.

Is someone you know in an Arizona prison? Do you want to visit them?

That'll be $25.

Brentai · « **Reply #258 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:31:27 PM »

What happens if you don't pay?

Thad · « **Reply #259 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:02:00 PM »

There's a lawsuit. On the grounds that the "background check fees" are not being used for background checks.
