Subdeacon Joe Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 In the HuffPo so we know it's true. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/31/joe-arpaio-investigation-_n_1848384.html PHOENIX — Federal authorities said Friday that they're closing their abuse-of-power investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Arizona without filing charges against him. Authorities were investigating America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009. Federal authorities also decided to not prosecute matters tied to alleged misuse of county credit cards by sheriff's officials, alleged misspending of jail-enhancement funds and other matters. "They did their investigation, they didn't find enough probable cause and they didn't bring an indictment," Arpaio said at a hastily called news conference after returning from the Republican National Convention in Florida. "We don't go around framing anybody. My people are not crooks." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Cubbie Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 You go, Sheriff Joe! Voted for him when I lived in the valley and heard him speak last year at Winter Range. He doesn't back down from a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 "Innocent" until proven "guilty" but "not charged" and "not yet charged" is a bit of a non man's land of teh "gov't is still watching." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
