Truth to Power

What the hell did jackwad Joe Arpaio do with 50 million dollars?

New Documents Obtained In Arpaio Money-Use Case

PHOENIX – CBS 5 obtained some new information about how much money the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe may have misused.

Arpaio’s attorneys said the board has a vendetta against the sheriff, but if the information in the in court documents is true, $50 million could have been misused.

CBS 5 got court papers that showed the Superior Court why the supervisors felt they had to issue a subpoena on Arpaio.

Some of it has been heard before, that they said the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office refused to participate in an audit, and that the board thought MCSO was trying to cover up what it was doing with taxpayer cash.

But the details found in just-released court documents were a first.

According to those documents, MCSO’s Chief Financial Officer, Loretta Barkell, provided information showing nearly $500,000 of misspending in just a two-week period.</em>

Gee, who coulda seen this coming, right? Sheriff Above The Law, a crook?
