Every civil servant wants to experience his or her legacy firsthand--but not the way that onetime Arapahoe Sheriff Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. has. Sullivan, a nationally renowned law enforcement leader, was arrested on drug charges and is now being detained in the Denver area jail that bears his name.
Sullivan, who in 2001 was named the National Sheriff Association's "Sheriff of the Year," was arrested on suspicion of trafficking methamphetamines.
Local news station CBS4 began an investigation of Sullivan last month on a tip that he had agreed to meet a male informant, providing drugs in exchange for sex. He was subsequently arrested by the South Metro Drug Task Force and is currently being held on a $250,000 bond.
And in an incredible twist of fate, Sullivan now cooling his heels at The Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility, named in his honor.

continueing... "The allegations of criminal behavior involving Pat Sullivan are extraordinarily disturbing," said Grayson Robinson, Arapahoe County's current sheriff. "While the arrest of the former sheriff is very troubling, no one, and particularly a former peace officer, is above the law. This is the most shocking thing I've ever been involved with."
Sullivan, 68, has been retired for nine years, but had been serving as director of safety and security for Cherry Creek Schools.

This is shocking. The guy had a reputation as a cop’s cop. Really sad he ends up this way.
To: techcor
You are right. It bet he wishes he was on a comet right now.
I wonder if his main problem is addiction to gay sex or addiction to meth. Either way it is a pretty sick, sad, and sordid affair.
To: Upstate NY Guy
A vice addict can rarely restrict the practice of his peculiar vice to just one area. Vice becomes pervasive as it requires ever increasing stimulation to maintain the same feeling of aliveness.

I think he was getting sex in exchange for drugs, but it is not really clear.

Sullivan, 68, has been retired for nine years, but had been serving as director of safety and security for Cherry Creek Schools. Check the bathrooms for covert pinhole video cameras he might have installed.

"While the arrest of the former sheriff is very troubling, no one, and particularly a former peace officer, is above the law. This is the most shocking thing I've ever been involved with." The un-asked question for Grayson is
why did you not know or arrest Sullivan?

Better question is he a democrat?
Let's look at the evidence. First his political party is not referenced. Only done for democrats.
Secondly, involved with sex. Democrat trait.
Abusive personality to people.
Lastly, involved in drugs. Democrat.
All together, a hard core democrat.
