Any duly constituted law enforcement officer has the power to arrest a Sheriff or, for that matter, any other politically elected or appointed office holder, regardless of their function in the government.

The office of Sheriff is a state constitutional office. The ONLY two persons who can RELIEVE a Sheriff of their duties are the Governor of the state or the County Coroner of the sheriff's county. However since neither of these two government officials possess the power of arrest technically, they can't 'take him into custody,' but they can strip him of his powers.

How can you see a list of person who have arrest warrants in Arizona?

You can check county sheriff's and local police department websites to see if they publish this information online. For example, the La Paz County Sheriff has a most wanted list. The Maricopa County Sheriff has lists of arrest warrants and deadbeat parents. A few of the local police departments in that county also list wanted persons. There are also lists of wanted persons in Mohave County by the Sheriff and Probation. The Pima County Sheriff has a most wanted persons list. The Tucson Police also lists most wanted persons. You can also search Yavapai County Sheriff's warrants online. There are also DEA and US Marshals listings online.
