Arizona sheriff responds after positive COVID-19 test, says he wouldn't enforce mask mandate

PHOENIX – The sheriff of Pinal County in Arizona offered additional details about his recent trip to Washington, D.C., where he tested positive for COVID-19 prior to a planned meeting with President Donald Trump.

During a Saturday phone interview with The Arizona Republic of the USA TODAY Network, Sheriff Mark Lamb said the White House called him on June 13 and asked that he be present when Trump signed an executive order that would hold law enforcement to a higher standard when they used force.

Lamb said he flew into Washington Monday evening and visited the White House Tuesday when he tested positive for COVID-19. He later visited an infirmary and was tested a second time, which also came back positive.

"I was surprised," Lamb said regarding the positive test result. "I mean, if I looked back, I would say that I was a little rundown from, you know, a long weekend. But I didn't have any symptoms."

Can you fire a sheriff? I thought they're elected. PTWB Jun 2020 #9
Good point RainCaster Jun 2020 #10
Perhaps he has some sort of personal goal as to how many others he can infect? PoindexterOglethorpe Jun 2020 #8
