The Denver Post reports that "Former Arapahoe County Sheriff Patrick Sullivan was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of trying to trade drugs to a man for sex, as investigators monitored the deal.

Drug task-force officers were "visually monitoring" the deal when the 68-year-old former national Sheriff of the Year delivered methamphetamine to an Aurora home and sought sex in return, said current Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.

...Robinson said Sullivan had an ongoing relationship with the man as well as other men he had a history of bonding out of jails in the metro region.

Sullivan is being held on $250,000 bail in the jail that bears his name, the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility. He was sheriff from 1984 until his retirement in 2002....Sullivan was a nationally expert on cyberterrorism and other law enforcement issues. He participated in a statewide meth task force in 2000...

,,,Former Arapahoe County District Attorney Jim Peters, who worked with Sullivan, said the allegations against the former sheriff are "totally out of character" for the man he knew and are "hard to believe."

"He was completely ethical, upright and honest," Peters said. "He just oozed honesty and integrity. He was an outstanding sheriff."

Which goes to show that we are all human, for one, and, for two, when you cannot be upfront on who you are, devious turns may develop. Doesn't mean that you have to take them, but life is not always full of easy choices. Especially when the little head starts doing the thinking.

Well, at least the victim impact statement should be brief.

Without stating a reason, the court today doubled the bond for the former sheriff to $500,000- this for .7 gram of meth...not even a gram. Perhaps keeping him in jail may save his life, otherwise I can see no reason to double his bond.

I was just coming here to post this!

I love that he is in a jail named after himself!
