Subscribe to RSSA former "sheriff of the year" has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to deal drugs in exchange for sex. Patrick Sullivan has been an iconic crime fighting figure in Colorado for decades, but tonight he's behind bars. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
A former U.S. national sheriff of the year found himself in a jail that was named for him, accused of offering methamphetamine in exchange for sex from a male acquaintance.
Colorado lawman Patrick Sullivan, 68 — handcuffed, dressed in an orange jail uniform and walking with a cane — watched Wednesday as a judge raised his bail amount to a half-million dollars and sent him to the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility.
The current sheriff, Grayson Robinson, who worked as undersheriff for Sullivan from 1997 until he took over the job in 2002, said the department was shocked and saddened at his arrest.
Robinson said the case is still under investigation, including where and how Sullivan might have gotten the drugs. He declined to say if authorities suspect Sullivan of using drugs, or if others might be charged.
Sullivan's arrest has many in suburban Denver's Arapahoe County where he held sway for nearly two decades wondering what happened to the tough-as-nails lawman they once knew — a law officer known for his heroism in saving two deputies and for his concern about teenage drug use.
"This isn't the Pat I know," said Peg Ackerman, a lobbyist for the County Sheriffs of Colorado who often worked with him on legislation. She said he was concerned about drug use in schools and was a chief of security at a school district.
At the brief hearing, Judge William Sylvester told Sullivan not to contact anyone involved in the case.
Sullivan's attorney, Kevin McGreevy, did not return calls seeking comment.
Sullivan came to the attention of law enforcement after an Oct. 4 call to authorities from a home in Centennial, according to an arrest affidavit. The deputy who responded had worked for Sullivan and knew who he was.
After investigating further, the deputy learned from two confidential informants that Sullivan was dealing meth but would sell it only if they had sex with him, the document stated. He was arrested after police set up a sting at a home.
Deputies found that Sullivan had handed someone a bag of meth and had another bag on him when he was searched, according to the affidavit. Both bags weighed less than a gram.
Sullivan served as sheriff from 1984 until his retirement in 2002.
In 2002, then-U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo praised him on his retirement, citing Sullivan for promoting homeland security and for being named Sheriff of the Year by the National Sheriff's Association.
In 1989, Sullivan was hailed as a hero. During a gunman's rampage, he rescued two deputies after crashing his truck through a fence and protecting them while they were loaded into the vehicle.
While those who know Sullivan were puzzled by the news, some said they weren't surprised that a person of his stature could get involved. They said meth users will do almost anything to feed their habit and often hurt others in the process.
"This drug knows no economic, social, professional or occupational boundaries," said state Rep. Ken Summers, who served on a legislative meth task force.

As they say there is a fine line between a criminal and a policeman. I guess this helps to provide more credibility to the statement.
This is the result of giving the police excessive power and authority to wage war on the American people. The war on drugs is just that and a complete failure, naturally.
An example of why people in power want the rest of us to be powerless. VOTE OUT EVERYONE IN OFFICE 2012!
In this case there was NO line between the criminal and the policeman.
Maybe someone was raiding the evidence locker.
You seem to miss the fact he hasn't been the Sheriff for ten years. Sounds like he's a bit senile.
"Sounds like he's a bit senile."
yes, because senile people go around offering meth for gay male sex all the time ///
no, it sounds like he's your typical closet politician (and sherriff's are politicians)...and im not shocked that he was a republican. save for the log cabin republicans, it's pretty difficult to be openly gay and a republican...and be successful.
it was smart of him in a way, to solicit sex from drug users. If any of them had ever tried to claim they had gay sex with the former GOP sheriff, all he had to do to refute the claims was say "how can you trust a known drug dealer over me?"...
that doesnt make it right, or good or just...it just makes it logical. it's why men often cheat with untrustworthy, money grubbing women...so they can later claim "they are just seeking to cash in on smearing my name"...
glad this one went down on hidden camera, because I guarantee he would have had his defenders out there accusing the drug user of making false claims to, once again take down a great christian conservative.
Another fine of example of an dirty individual well known by the community they serve, in a position of trust. Face it folks being a cop one cannot stay clean for very long.
Once again we find experts who can ascertain the facts without any evidence . What a wonderful place to get smarter ! This should be called get more BS here or gossip heaven .
A true pig, not a hero
Usually I jump right on issues like this: cops abusing power, republicans trying to force a moral code on the rest of us while failing miserably at their own morals, etc...
I think the bigger picture here, though, is the fact that meth can get to anyone; and when it does, it destroys you. Period.
I am a high school teacher with two young sons of my own. I have seen many of my students over the years succumb to this horrible substance. Good kids. Bad influences. Bad choices.
This drug scares hell out of me. This story with the Sheriff goes to prove that meth can get to and destroy anyone.
Now he can get it up the butt for free in jail!
Reminder: This guy is a FORMER Sheriff. I like to hate the cops. And this one just makes me giggle, but if this is what he's chosen to do now that he's NOT an officer, then who gives a crap. Fine, he's breaking the law, but (so far) he's not molested any children. The thing that makes me wonder is if he was doing any of this while he was a sheriff. That's when I'd have a serious problem with it. You want to be a person that occasionally breaks the law, then DON'T be a cop. I am one of those people. I just meet/see far too many officers that break the laws they are, at that moment, enforcing
News articles such as this have become so numerous and prevalent in todays
society, that I no longer have a reaction to such news.
Ive seen so much of it that basically...........I no longer care! and it
hardly seems newsworthy these days.
Its just another daily event...... So, sad as it may seem / I could really
care less?
..... and isnt that a pity?
What in the world does politics have to do with this? This guy appeared to be a good guy. I'm a democrat but I voted for him. So please take politics out of this. Since politics is a hot topic now, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. But here in Arapahoe County, we voted in a good sheriff, not a GOP sheriff. He did a lot of good while he was sheriff. He helped calm a lot of fears after Columbine and he left behind a good legacy at the sheriff department.
Remember, it was his OWN former department that investigated and arrested him in a county that named a building after him. They are still investigating. I just hope that nothing happened while he was still sheriff. There might be a lot of people not convicted that should've been and there might be people who should be in jail but now may get out. We will feel completely betrayed if any of this took place while he was actually in office.
But it appears this may go deeper than meth and sex. They are investigating whether he bailed people out of jail after he retired. They are investigating claims that he has HIV and knowingly had unprotected sex with men who were unaware of his status. They are investigating whether he was a big time dealer or just a just a middle man. The MSNBC story just gave the nation a taste of what's going on. Check out some Denver news sites and you will find just how deep this story is going.
??????????. Sigh..........................................................................................
...and another closeted republican bites the dust...
This is exactly the point. And it is one reason we have a "war on drugs". Drugs create a war on society and prevention is the best policy.
How ironic! Tossed into the detention facility that bears your name.
If hes doing this as FORMER Sheriff? what did he do while he was ACTIVE Sheriff, Stop Women for traffic violations and trade a pass for sex? Process Female suspects and offer to lose evidence for sex?, Why can this be the only time he has broken the law? ALL cops break the law, there isnt a single HONEST cop in the Country, and story's like this just prove it
Dr Larry - remember when kids used to just get high on booze, cigarettes and marijuana?
those days are over thanks to the war on drugs...they've been demonized as the gateway drug, and now they are to some degree pretty inaccessible to a lot of kids (I have trouble getting pot, and I have a lot of connections - and it's expensive!).
But meth? Any redneck can cook up a batch in their kitchen for relatively cheap...and we are shocked that tons of peoples lives are being destroyed by this drug?
The sad thing is...many of those kids who would have just been experimental users of pot, who would not have had any long standing issues of addiction or anything else...wind up trying things like meth, simply because it's accessible...and stand no chance.
If you want to see this, as a byproduct of the war on drugs, as success...have at it.
I understand human nature well enough to know you'll never snuff out kids desire to experiement with mind altering substances - whether that is booze or drugs. All you'll do is force them into making really bad choices, like meth or frion from ac's...because it's all they can get their hands on.
Colorado? You do not say?
In all honesty not ONLY is it not a surprise,... It is expected. ; ]
Indeed. ; ]
Cheers
Where I live there is a family that everyone in the neighborhood knows cooks meth. They don't even try to hide it. The house is as busy as a convenience store all hours of the day and night. The father lords it over his neighbors that the sheriffs dept can't touch him. One of the local deputies admitted to one of the neighbors that they were told not to bother the man because his uncle is a judge.
If there is a war on drugs then it's a very muddy one. It's hard to tell who is on what side. Sometimes it seems like most of the people that are supposed to be fighting the war for us are on the wrong side.
I've always contended that just about every individual is really two people - one with their clothes on and one with them off. When it comes to sex one should never be surprised at what anyone does. Ever.
Maybe if we legalize prostitution a man wont have to sell drugs to get a
little sex?
I think we need to redraw the colors of the states by the drugs that are most prevalent. So let's say meth is more popular in the midwest, while crack may be more popular in the north and south. Red for meth, blue for crack and purple for states with dual problems. At least, by identification, we'd know where the biggest drug businesses are located. Then, it would also be easier to pinpoint where these drugs are coming from and what if any the rehab rate is in the states. It could also indicate the root causes...rural areas where incomes are low, urban areas where they are high.

More like bites the Big One??? LOL
@Enstrom,
They both otta be legalized...
@ you democratslobs...don't forget clinton in the whitehouse you LOSERS..
after all, what else do you expect from the home state of such nutcase organizations as "focus on the family"?
The belief that the law enforcement officer operates within the thought process of a criminal mind is not too far from the truth. It is all much to common when a law enforcement officer has to deal with Mr. and Mrs. Lamb on a daily basis. Murder, Rape, Manslaughter, Robbery, Sodomy, Larceny, Arson, Mayhem, Burglary.
Enuf said!
@ whatthe?
don't forget newt gingrich, THREE times CAUGHT cheating. and the guy is running for prez?
so much for "moral values", makes clinton look like a choirboy
People only get held up, because the thieves know the police won't care.
The 'War on Drugs' only makes things WORSE! Addictions are harder to beat, survival is harder, getting back on your feet after overcoming addiction is tougher...is there ONE state that is clean? One CITY?!?
After FORTY YEARS of the 'War on Drugs' failing, when will you stop and re-assess that failure, and recognize IT DOESN'T WORK?
I'm from New Orleans, the most corrupt city in the country. We must take all of the traffic and "crime" cameras and place them in the mayor's, police chief's, fire chief's, sheriff's, city council's offices, openly bug every phone they use, and arrest them at the first sign of impropriety or false dealing with our tax dollars. We are paying for very poor service at every level of government. On TV people see the Superdome, The French Quarter, Bourbon St., etc. and talk of how the Saints have brought this city back. I can drive you 1 (one) mile from any of these aforementioned places and show you blight, the homeless, streets unfit to park on much less drive, and absolute decay of infrastructure. It's the same in every major city. Kick these politicians to the curb. They want nothing but your money in their pockets. Don't talk Democrat or Republican; they are all snakes. I agree with the previous comment. What stunts was Sullivan pulling when he was sheriff? Scary! Might make Sandusky look tame. May God help our land.
We like to look up to our law enforcement officials, but there are good ones and bad ones just like preachers, politicians and everyone else.
somethings wrong, cops dont get charged, jailed and harrassed like this. hey cops even get away with murder. either the officers involved in this arrest are very honest cops or they must not get along with this former sheriff of the year and there is beef between the 2. arrested for a possesion of drugs and attemting to buy prostitute. i dont belive it. a cop????? im baffeled.
ALL people have a little bad in them. I don't care you are.
Now that is just too funny. I wonder what his wife thinks about this if he is married. Hilarious !
Steve - ALL people need a little sex. I don't care who you are.
Actually no one NEEDS sex... Humanity as a whole technically could even be propagated through a test tube.. of course that wouldn't be much fun though.. :)
I feel sorry for this guy. Meth is probably the worst drug ever invented. I don't think he was involved with any of this behavior while he was a sheriff. I believe AFTER he retired he started this activity. But I think he has always been gay. But considering the nature of his job and being a Republican I'm guessing he went through a lot of emotional turmoil because he couldn't be who he really was without condemnation. I wonder how many closest homosexuals resort to to drug use because of the stigma of being gay and having to hide their true selves? It's such a shame that such an honorable person could fall from grace. But that is the power of hard drugs and those addicted to them. It takes over their lives and makes them do things people wouldn't normally do. What MSNBC didn't bring to light was that he was having sex with minors which is totally wrong and I bet that charge will be coming soon. That's where I don't feel sorry for him and he should be held accountable for that. But with that said, I have always stood for the ending of the war on drugs and ending the stigmatization of drug users. People with serious drug addictions should be treated as medical patients and not criminals, unless they commit a crime that has a victim. If drugs were decriminalized we wouldn't be hearing about this and his reputation wouldn't be dragged through the mud. Who cares if he's gay, and I wouldn't care if he smoked meth or did any other drug as long as he wasn't hurting anybody other than himself. But having sex with minors should be the main focus here. If he was selling meth I wouldn't condone that either and he should be punished for that as well. But if he was trading meth for sex from consenting adults I wouldn't hang him for that. Because I also think prostitution should be legal in every state. Making prostitution illegal has done the same thing as drug prohibition in forcing it underground into the black market. All that does is bring in the criminal element and the spread of STDs and violence against sex workers, mainly women. But I'm sure many Conservatives would gasp at these ideas but that's the problem. When we stigmatize certain human behaviors all that does is create taboos and hate towards people that are different and don't fit the societal definition of what is so-called "normal".
Meth should not have been against the law. If you want to fry your brain, more power to you.
Ok, you need to SHUT UP. My wife reads this stuff!
Be fruitful and multiply.
Look at the positive side to this story. He won't have to sell drugs to get sex with "male acquaintances". It has been a fruitful effort and he will have multiple opportunities for follow-up relationships.
moral of the story; wait until the person dies before you name something after him/her. See Joe Paterno.
I was typing the same comment when your's showed. You could not be more correct and your example is perfect.
That's a bit of a stretch to compare to Paterno...
My money says that they will be changing the name of the jail as soon as possible. Or maybe the name should stay and anyone tossed in will be branded with doing a "sullivan".
I so agree. In my town, every egomaniac has a building named after him and they haven't really deserved it. All of the buildings in my town are named for male politicians. Not exactly non-gender biased. One even managed to get his father's name on a building and the guy never held a job in the town.
LG,
Yeah, no kidding. Paterno is a bigger POS for sure...
Here in Vegas we have a state park named after a convicted tax cheat.......... and his brother was one of our Sheriffs
You think you know a guy....
I know what you mean Nantucket. A great leader, public figurehead, manager, law enforcer, award winning, meth dealing, crack smoking, sex pandering, gay guy with a jail named after him. Who would have seen that coming?
I don't know why everyone thinks this guy was actually taking meth himself. He's too old... it would explode his heart right out of his chest.
This guy was using meth to lure gay men or using it to lure meth addicts to agree to gay sex.
I don't believe for one second this old nutcase was actually using the meth, other than as a lure.
It pretty much has been determined that under aged guys were involved also.
Hey Sirlafalot,
That story line would make for a great SNL skitch???LOL
Harold,
I disagree. The fact that he was such a horndog at his age is a great indicator that he was hitting the pipe. Meth turns you into a raving sexaholic and blurs your judgement as to who you get it from, where you get it, and whether they are male of female. Look at another famous Coloradean (sp?): Pastor Haggard (sp?).
He was 99% sure getting high on meth too.
Just blows a persons mind to see what can and does happen when you try drugs thinking your stronger or tougher than the drug is, This guy knew all to well the dangers involved with meth (and anything else he may have gotten into/tried?) and yet he goes and does the drug 'I assume' thinking it wont affect him in the long run and now look at him. What a horrible way to go out, he should have known better.
Pay close attention people, This is a classic example of what drugs can & will make you do!
Seems like Sullivan wasn't actually under the influence of drugs - he was selling them for gay trysts. Drugs didn't make him gay. Apparently they weren't tempting enough to make the men want to trade either since they turned him in when he tried to "buy" them with it.
"...accused of offering methamphetamine in exchange for sex from a male acquaintance."
Well... looks like he won't need to trade meth for that anymore, now will he?
Good observation!
I think he is going to be on the receiving end this time...
You reap what you sow. Low morals and lack of integrity are are missing from our schools of higher learning, be it law, medicine, financial and especially political. l I now look up to used car salesmen ( they are not corrupted by college ).
That's right. They save their college tuition so they can have a wardrobe of hideous sportcoats and ties.
Yep, better keep everyone ignorant and stupid. Skip that higher education thingamabob!
In case that was too subtle, it's called sarcasm.
Damned we're doomed as a country with comments like this - either that or you're a hell of a troll.
Hopefully this person and the crimes he committed will make a good example to people on how dangerous these drugs truly are.
This guy just threw away his whole life because he figured he could beat the drug he used to arrest other people with. Once you try these drugs the drug takes hold of you and your then in for the ride or fall of your life, as seen here.
I'm glad he got caught because of his position it could have been even worse, I wish him luck getting his life back together.
Prison isn't going to be kind to this guy but at least hes got the sex part figured out before he goes in.
While we are fighting the drug trafficers from beaner country, we need to do as much with the druggies like this so called sherrif.
ah take 20+ years of law enforcement, retire the adrenaline. Leave a man wondering for what purpose he was placed on this earth, perhaps he was looking to escape his reality for once, maybe was just curious, or he let his guard down after all those years of having it accelerated.
This man is not infallible, only one among us has walked this earth and been tempted by Satan, he lived and died to prove it. After all meth is a drug straight from Satan's handbook, next he'll question his existence, he'll feel bad for himself, guilty and ashamed he might even try to commit suicide, Mission Accomplished for Satan...NEXT!
Don't judge, pray...know Christ. We are here for a finite amount of time and than we all perish.
We live in a society governed by laws not prayers. He committed a crime and will be judge for it.
Joe - I know, everytime I do something wrong or bad or just stupid...I certainly give the blame to whom it's warranted, SATAN.
he gets me everytime. Like, just today there was this lady walking across the road and I, instead of hitting my brakes, hit the gas...and nearly hit her. I just chuckled and said "nice try satan, but not today!" and then I said "jesus, take the wheel"
Perhaps if more people gave the devil a hug...He wouldn't feel the need to be so bad....
Even the devil needs a friend. ;)

Hey "you don't say"...must be a slow day for you...thanks for the great songs...They should now change the name of the jail to "Sullied"...ha..
What I mostly see in stories like this are addicts who are out of control. They deserve our sympathy and help. This was totally out of character for him, and it was the drugs talking, not this poor man who has done so much good in his life.
Are you kidding, this guy is a scumbag, who made a choice to be a scumbag of his won free will. He deserves jail time and with any luck he will die in a restroom somewhere without killing or injuring anyone else. How many criminals did he let go, decline to arrest or prosecute over the last four decades for sex or drugs? Probably thousands. How many crimes did they commit? How many lives did they ruin? How many rapes? Murders? Robberies? Thefts? All because one selfish loser wanted to enjoy himself and abuse his authority.
Excusing people like this and their lousy behavior is shear stupidity. Nobody forced him to take drugs,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,he made a choice.
Every drunk driver, criminal, politician, druggie, actor, sports icon or scumbag that gets arrested claims to be addicted to something and therefore excused for their crummy behavior. AS ALWAYS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,they made the choices that got them in trouble of their own free will.
Reap what you sow,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and enjoy it.
It's strange to see all these people saying that it is a wonderful old man and hero and the drugs are to blame......if this was some 19 year old kid named Tyrone or Gerardo they wouldn't have that same attitude. When an old white man gets busted it's the drugs fault and when some young black/hispanic kid gets busted they thank that same old white man for keeping them safe.
Did you even read the article or did you just stop by to troll? He wasn't a user, he was a dealer and they do not even know at what volume yet. What a loon.
I'm going to retract my first comment. After more investigation, this guy was a complete wreck. Trolling parks for homosexual encounters. Trying to get people who had cleaned themselves up from meth back on it. You're right, he's a royal scumbag. My apologies.
Cleaned themselves up? What a laugh. If they were clean, why would they be in drug handouts? On the other hand, why would anyone in their right mind want to be involved with a drug addicted meth addict? This guy is nuts.
HAHAHAHA
Have fun in prison pig....they love people like you in there. You @!$%#ing hypocritical evil old man. People you locked up are going to be standing in line to have a few minutes to "talk" to you.
Get used to your new name "bitch".
Since when is locking up people a bad thing? Are you saying EVERYONE in that jail is innocent? A bit of reality is in order.
Nope, I'm saying there are people who deserve to be locked up but aren't because they think they are untouchable authority. People who abuse the authority we have entrusted them with are the biggest scum on the planet. Worse that a 10 dollar meth head crack whore.
Angry Left: I am sure the good sheriff is sorry for what he did but sorry doesn't make it right. Kinda like Ted Kennedy when he was sorry for what he did - Drive drunk and kill a lady passenger and than try to explain it wasn't his fault. . . but the judge said it's okay Mr. Kennedy @!$%# happens.
absolutely agree, Angry Left. Just because we voted someone into their position of power does not mean they are any more capable of "doing the right thing" than anyone else. But the fact that they munipulated us in order to achieve that power so they could abuse it makes them far worse than your average criminal.
I'm 38 and have lived in Arapahoe County most of my life. I was in 4th grade when he became sheriff and a mother by the time he retired. This is a man that was so highly regarded not only in our county, but in the nation by fellow sheriffs. He was a stable lawman in my life, and when the detention center (one where terrorists were held on the way to Supermax), was named after him ,no one blinked an eye. After the Columbine tragedy, Sullivan was hired to put into place a district safety and security plan for schools. This man was highly regarded as a local hero.
It's so sad to see what meth can do to even the most unlikely people. It's shocking to everyone in the Denver metro area. Meth is a horrible drug. This is just a sad story. Another one of the good ones brought down by drugs.
This is not about meth or drug addictions. This is about power over others.
You say "that man could walk on water" and I sure he could. But the most powerful drug to withdraw from is not meth or heroin, it is POWER.
His dealer was the adoration of the public. And his fix was the ability to draw adoration while holding literally the power of life or death over anyone.
This is about a sad old man, horny, using any lure he can to get his fix of 'power over others'. Meth and sex is the easiest commodity to trade.
This is not about the 'way' but about the 'means'.
Agreed, Rick Day. I haven't seen anything about this case that says Sullivan was actually using meth himself - only that he was attempting to barter it for gay sex. Shows a level of calculation and coercion that's pretty disturbing.
How ironic for him to be in the same facility that was named for him. I bet the other inmates are getting a laugh from that.
So many seem to be missing the point. He had power over no one. He hasn't had power for ten years. He's a civilian. no better than any other druggie. so if he's condemned, so should all the other drug users. As fas as his efforts to get a partner, using cash would have been easier.
I haven't seen any proof he's any sort of a dealer. If that's such a bad profession, I'd guess the war on drugs is warranted.
I also noted the MSNBC has in the headline "Sheriff arrested". Yet in the story they correctly state Ex-Sheriff. Typical shoddy new reporting on their part. They were a bunch of losers when they had their facility in NJ and they haven't changed much. Clueless kids doing the reporting.
Being who he is, he'll be lucky if he survives long in the Big House. There are probably a few inmates that were put there by him. And I'm sorry, but he has probably been pulling things like this for a long time. Justice comes in many flavors. :)
After all meth is a drug straight from Satan's handbook
I wish to purchase this....handbook. Since the US military requires pilots to ingest methamphetamine before deploying on long missions ("go pills") then the US Navy is a...tool of Satan? *confused look*
But of course, you mean....Hitler's, right? Because I don't think Hell has meth labs. Too much heat for chemical stability ~!~
And unlike the Biblical Satan, Hitler really existed. That counts.
Nothing new to see here folks, just another victim of the failed war on (some) drugs.
Move on....
GOP=Corruption. Revolt!
He's a Democrat.
You people must be reading different article than I am, because no where in the article does it state this mans Party Affiliation.
I'm sure I'll get the flame treatment for this comment, but such is life.
Someone mentioned that perhaps there's some senility here. Maybe. My take is more like this.....a very significant portion of humanity will use drugs if they are available. It is not a moral issue. It is a human issue, it is a health issue, and it's something that many people have a strong predisposition to engage in.
In addition, a significant portion of humanity will engage in sex if it is available. Although mankind has done his best to make it one, sex is not a moral issue either, it is a human issue. It is simply something that humans have an innate drive to do. Sometimes it's with the same sex. BFD. A sober, honest look at human behavior ought to make this obvious.
This man showed what kind of person he is when he rescued two deputies under fire. To vilify him for being a human being is lame. The law is lame.
After he saved them he probably said...Now you owe me...And you know what that meant!....DoH!
I hope he enjoys his stay in his nicely named building....I just wonder if they will name his cell the master bedroom.
you mean when he was (probably) high on meth and crashed his car through a fence in a frenzied manner?
Because everybody knows there are no females who would swap sex for meth? WTF?
Who would want to touch those females?
For that matter. . . who would want to touch those males? Just an added "ick factor."
Speaking of which, did you know that meth addicts will pay other meth addicts for scabs - which they then EAT????
At his age, has anyone considered a health issue? When someone suddenly begins to exhibit behavior that is contrary to normal behavior things like brain tumors and mental illness should be considered.
Rofl, this is so ironic it's amazingly hilarious!
Hmmmmm! At least he won't have trouble finding where he lives! Red
bizarre, I think his brain is degrading. gay sex, meth use, afting an examplary career? something doesn't make sense. maybe early old timer disease settling in.
Who is to say he wasn't doing things like this his whole career and just now got caught? He is/was a closeted homosexual or bisexual that know addicts won't tell his secret. There was nothing wrong with this old man's brain. He was just getting what he wanted secretly and it didn't matter if it was illegal or not.
If that was his partner of choice he'd have a STD by now.
I suppose they'll have to rename that facility..
