The Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility in Colorado this week took in an unexpected prisoner: Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. himself.
 
The former sheriff of Arapahoe County (1983-2002), for whom the jail was named, was arrested on charges of trying to sell drugs for sex with a man. Sullivan, 68 and now retired, came under investigation a couple weeks ago after informants told the sheriff’s department of the ex-lawman’s efforts to trade methamphetamine for male sexual services.
 
The one-time national Sheriff of the Year (2001) faces multiple counts of unlawfully selling a controlled substance, which could get him up to six years in prison. Sullivan, who is married and a grandfather, may also face other charges still to be filed.
 
In 1995, President Bill Clinton appointed Sullivan to the National Commission on Crime Control and Prevention. In 1998 he served as co-chair of Citizens Against the Legalization of Marijuana.

if you want to read the original story from the investigator who actually worked on the story for many months and broke it before anyone else, not to mention all the facts about the case and allegations that the denver post failed to mention (probably because it wasn't their story to begin with), then i suggest you check out this link and see what all this is about http://www.newworldorderreport.com/news/tabid/news/tabid/266/id/9217/pat-sullivan-investigation-deepens-alleged-sex-tape-found-and-male-bath-house-raoded.aspx

i find it ironic that he was "co-chair of citizens against the legalization of marijuana" yet decided to deal in cocaine! for sexual services as well (so prostitution?). when people like this man go on campaigns like the one against the legalization, it is simply to increase their own profile and standing rather than because it is an issue they truly believe in. half the stuff you hear and read these days is propaganda anyway. people really need to start thinking for themselves and to stop trusting their gov't and officials. any agenda they have is usually self-centred or has an ulterior motive. most (not all, but most) of high end gov't officials and politicians are there because they are crooked and/or willing to go with the system of feeling society lies to keep them in check.... my point? think for yourselves! make your own mind up, and don't believe the media,cops or politicians......
