Former Sheriff Pat Sullivan was help up as a “law and order” guy by the Denver area media. They loved him because he was a “Republican” who got a lot of face time calling for various gun ban laws. They even named a county jail after him.
Turns out he was a meth smoking pederast who supplied meth to young boys for sex. The bath house where he plied his perversions was also connected with some of the crowd of queers that Shepard associated with. One of those kids ended up dead in the Platte River as I recall, but any connection to Sullivan was tamped down.
Sullivan ended up in the jail that bore his name. LOL
