“Not normally, no, but I believe he can if he wishes to do so.”

So the Sheriff doesn’t have that power...unless he wishes it so. That’s a rather loose definition of power.

“The Sheriff is the Highest law enforcement officer of a County, and is the only one specifically mentioned in the US Constitution.”

Really? In the US Constitution? I don’t see it:

It isn't a "definition" of power. It is a function of his office. If he thinks that something going on in his county is illegal, it is his prerogative to injunct it until it can be investigated and examined by a court.

You are correct. I am wrong. It is Jesus which is specifically mentioned in the constitution, not "Sheriff." You wouldn't know anything about Jesus would you?
