A federal judge said Friday that he will refer Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to the U.S. Attorney’s Office to be charged with criminal contempt of court.

The decision comes after U.S. District Judge G. Murray Snow found that Arpaio intentionally violated various orders rooted in an 8-year-old racial-profiling case.

The ruling additionally refers Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan, Arpaio's former defense attorney Michele Iafrate, and Capt. Steve Bailey for criminal contempt prosecution as well.

"Criminal contempt serves to vindicate the Court's authority by punishing the intentional disregard for that authority," Snow wrote in his Friday order.

This is the equivalent of a criminal indictment. It will go to trial unless Arpaio cuts a deal. Two top deputies and his attorney also are included.

I got banned from the Bernie group and have been a memberof DU since 2001

I have been a contributing member here since January 2001 and today I got banned from the Bernie group. Needless to say I won't be giving a dime here for a while. After Hillary is the nominee I will see how things line out and decide if DU is worth my time. For the last six months it hasn't been.
