Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office are ~~taking a vacation~~ tracking down a wanted man in Southern California this week, after yet another non-credible "death threat" was directed at Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

It appears that saying you "want" to blow Arpaio's head off is the same thing as threatening to do so, at least in the eyes of the MCSO.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Some disgusting human beings are bidding on a piece of used medical equipment that's covered in elderly Sheriff Joe Arpaio's dead skin cells.

The eBay ad, which doesn't include Arpaio's jock strap as a free bonus, alleges that the money is going toward MCSO's MASH unit for abused animals.

Joe Arpaio, Elderly Sheriff, Claims He's a Victim of Discrimination (LOL)

Allegedly not-dead Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Elderly Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio claims he's a victim of discrimination.

Because of Arpaio's age, he's being targeted by MCSO deputies who are pulling over elderly drivers en masse. He's being grilled about his citizenship because of how his skin looks, and is being held by deputies longer than people who don't look like him. Whoops, never mind, we're thinking of Latino people.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio talks meth.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio seemed bored today as he talked about a U.S. citizen caught with more than 50 pounds of meth.

"This is important right here," he said as he twiddled his thumbs and looked at the packages of meth, following up his statement with a long pause.

Joe Arpaio's Flip-Flop: MCSO Suddenly Not Arresting "Illegals," but Rescuing Thirsty Men

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Sheriff Joe Arpaio suddenly no longer is an anti-immigrant tough guy, at least according to his newest press release, which is extraordinarily politically correct.

Usually, a press release from Arpaio will describe how many "illegals" were arrested by the MCSO's Human Smuggling Unit, with their names, photos, and sometimes even a picture of all the people still crammed into the car during the ride over the border -- but not this time, after federal Judge G. Murray Snow's ruling that MCSO has to stop racial-profiling practices.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu's Medical-Marijuana Connection: His Spokeswoman

Paula Pollock, during a 2008 bodybuilding competition, now works at the PCSO.

Could it be that Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu is even more of a liberal Republican than we thought?

We know he supports same-sex marriage and gays in the military. But what about his views on medical marijuana?

Well, consider that he handpicked for his staff a fitness trainer/bodybuilder/bookkeeper with family ties to two medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado, and who was once poised to open her own pot shop in Scottsdale.

Paul Babeu, Pinal County Sheriff, Getting Some Lovin' (and Help Distracting Public from PCSO Search-and-Rescue Woes) from Fox News

Chris Hensley and his two daughters. Superstition Search and Rescue located his body shortly after starting its search.

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu has been catching some serious heat over the way his office handled the search for missing hiker Christopher Hensley.

The PCSO's own search crew combed the Superstition Mountains for days. But it was Superstition Search and Rescue, a private, all-volunteer team ousted by the sheriff in 2009, that found Hensley's body within a couple of hours of starting its search.

Local newspapers have run stories and editorials highlighting the PCSO failures.

What does Babeu do? Schedule an appearance on Fox News? Brenda Garza Hermanson of rightwingmarket.com posted this blurb on her Facebook: "Paul Babeu will be on the Hannity Show Friday night -- Don't miss it!"

Steven Seagal Bailing on Joe Arpaio's "Training" Session, Says Something "Important" Came Up

MCSO school-shooting consultant Steven Seagal.

Steven Seagal actually won't be taking part in the latest episode of Sheriff Joe Arpaio's months-long exploitation of the school-shooting tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.

Seagal, putting out a statement through the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office -- which, honestly, doesn't even sound strange at all at this point -- says he has something "very important" he has to do, forbidding him from attending Arpaio's publicity event.
