Defiant Arizona Sheriff Has Been Found in Contempt of Court

Source: Associated Press

A judge has found the longtime sheriff of metro Phoenix in contempt of court for disobeying his orders in a racial profiling case.

The decision Friday brings the lawman who calls himself "America's Toughest Sheriff" and is known for cracking down on illegal immigration a step closer to a possible criminal contempt case that could expose him to fines and even jail time.

It marks one of the biggest defeats for Sheriff Joe Arpaio and is expected to lead to greater court oversight of his office.

A hearing will be held May 31 to examine whether he'll face a criminal contempt case.

Lock him up in one of the tent cities of his own making, forcing him to work on a chain gang in 110 degree heat. Let's see how he likes it when he gets a taste of his own medicine.

That is Nazi-grade back story right there. This would move Trump from joke to actual threat.
