Justice Department to decide charges against Arizona lawman in racial profiling case
The department's criminal division has been assigned the case against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and three others after the U.S. Attorney's Office for Arizona asked to be recused, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix.
The criminal referral centers on U.S. District Judge Murray Snow's ruling that Arpaio intentionally violated a 2011 court order barring the sheriff's office from stopping and detaining drivers solely based on the suspicion that they were in the country illegally. The stops continued for another 18 months.
Snow also cited Arpaio and his office for failing to disclose documents and preserve records in the case, as ordered.
The referral came 11 days before the 84-year-old Arpaio, who has proclaimed himself as “America’s toughest sheriff,’ is slated to face-off against three others in a Republican primary on Aug. 30 in a bid for his seventh term as sheriff.
