Well, the sheriff was gun down(not literialy shot) in a battle with a district court judge!

The six term Maricopa County's Sheriff Joe Arpaio was held in criminal contempt on Friday, by US District Court, Judge M. Snow. A hearing is set for May 31, 2016, to determine the penalty for the sheriff which stems from unlawful way of racial profiling of citizens. This may end the long run as the sheriff for the 84 who has held this job since 1993. He has been in many stories over the years for his way of law enforcement and was one of those who tried to investigate Pres. Obama for is citizenship as he was running POTUS. Again, what goes around comes around and bites you in the ASS!

A hearing is set for May 31 to assess penalties and remedies. It will also then determine if the judge will refer the case for criminal contempt, which carries possible jail time.

Send the bill to Maricopa County and add it to the tens of millions of dollars in fuckups he's already cost the taxpayers.
