It was former Maricopa county attorney Andrew Thomas' interpretation of the state law that allowed Sheriff Joe to do this. The other county attorneys didn't see it that way.
Arpaio was busting a lot of illegals with this but he wasn't busting many coyotes.
A lot of the credit that people give to Arpaio should have been given to Prosecuter Thomas.
i agree and don’t agree. i’ve voted for sheriff joe since he first ran. andrew thomas got screwed by the liberal state bar.
they made a good team.
