[Yahoo] 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 same Denver area jail that was named after him. Sullivan, who was named the 2001 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, name in his honor. Sullivan, 68, has been retired for nine years, but had been serving as director of safety and security for Cherry Creek Schools. The CBS4 report also found that for several years Sullivan has been posting bond numerous times for suspects held in drug cases at jail facilities across the state. As recently as 2008, Sullivan was an active participant in state and local methamphetamine task forces, helping Colorado to draft a plan to deal with the surge in meth-related crime. In 1995 President Bill Clinton named Sullivan to the National Commission on Crime Prevention and Control. According to a 1995 White House news release, Sullivan was a consultant to U.S. House Subcommittee on Crime and served on two advisory councils affiliated with the Department of Justice.
Well I guess the people over in wherever the fuck Arapahoe is feel pretty dumb about having Sheriff Sullivan anointed ‘Sheriff of the Year’ after finding out he couldn’t even get away with a simple meth-for-cock trade. What a fraud. So what happens now? Where’s the 2001 runner-up? I can’t imagine Sullivan gets to keep the crown since I think posting bail for drug suspects is against the contest rules. Reggie Bush coughed up the Heisman for less, and there were plenty of Vince Young proponents claiming the trophy should be his. Anyway, if you’re gonna go to jail what better place than a facility with your fucking name on it? I mean if it’s dick you want, Sheriff, there’s no better place to be than in lock down – and your name on the building is gonna get your ass pounded on the regular. Better than roofies. Dude’s gonna be strutting through the showers with his silver bush in full effect, relegating the hardest of convicts to Justin Bieber fans dripping pre-cum & screeching, “Oh my Godddddd, it’s him! It’s Patrick J. Sullivan Jr.!” Sheriff’s chute is gonna be stuffed fo’ sho’.
