PHOENIX (AP) -- An examination in Arizona's Maricopa County has found that the sheriff's office, widely known for efforts against illegal immigrants, inappropriately spent $99 million from two jail funds over the last eight years to pay for other law enforcement operations - including immigration patrols.

The $99 million figure released Wednesday is an update to an estimate made in September by budget officials who said the sheriff's office was believed to have used $60 million and $80 million over four or five years from a jail tax on other purposes.

Sounds like money well spent. What a crock the article ultimately recognizes the sherrif did no wrong and the quotes are from people he prosecuted.

NOt sure of Arizona’s laws, but even in a liberal state like New Jersey, once monies or revenues are dedicated to anything under the auspices of the elected county Sheriff, the Sheriff has full discretion on it’s expenditure, albeit within guidelines and statutes based on state and Federal law (no cruel and unusal punishment, nutritional guildeines, etc,)

If something, anything, inappropriate, illegal etc ... occurred it would have been sent up like a flare year one of the alleged 8 years and they would have nailed ole Joe then and there IMO.
