Joe Arpaio's office misused up to $64 million, Maricopa County says

The Arizona Republic

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will have to use the general fund to repay as much as $64 million that county officials said Wednesday the Sheriff's Office misused from a fund for jail operations.

The county's Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday unveiled its first evidence of misuse of public funds by the Sheriff's Office, presenting key findings to the board after hundreds of hours of staff research.


Officials reviewed findings involving sheriff's purchasing-cards, the detention fund, cash handling and extradition and travel policies, County Manager David Smith said.

2. It will be interesting to see if he has any kickback for all those contract
prisons they're building.

I can't picture him in pink, though. The visual is nauseating.

3. Talked to a judge at the gym a few years ago who told me that Arpaio has his
fingers in just about every pie available. If they dig for any length of time, they'll catch him. The big question is how corrupt are the investigators?

His going to jail is the dream of a great many people. He's screwed over a great many people.
