If the sheriff breaks a county or state law, any law enforcment offical sworn to up the law can make the arrest. However, with most jurisdictions, this will be a very political situation and will most likely always involve the administration of both the arresting agency and the agency being arrested. the county corner is over the sheirff

In the common law, the county sheriff could be arrested by a higher ranking law enforcement official, such as a state police officer or federal agent, if they were suspected of committing a crime. Additionally, a judge could issue a warrant for the sheriff's arrest based on probable cause.

Who was the youngest sheriff ever elected in the US?

However, Sharon Mendenhall, age 22, was elected as sheriff of Rush County, Kansas in 1964. Her record may deserve an asterisk, due to special circumstances. Her husband, Jack Mendenhall, who eventually served as sheriff of Rush County for 42 years,was the incumbent sheriff and by the Kansas law in effect at the time, could not succeed himself. (The law was repealed soon after. ) Therefore, he had his wife run and the voters went along with the idea. Jack actually did most of the work of sheriff, but his wife operated the radio communication for the department.James R. Metts makes the claim on his web page to be the youngest sheriff ever elected in the nation in 1972, at the age of 25, He has served as sheriff of Lexington County, South Carolina since December 15, 1972. This has earned him the longest tenure for a Republican currently holding elected office in South Carolina.


Who is the sherif for west bend?

There isn't a sheriff for West Bend. West Bend is part of Washington County, WI and the County has an elected sheriff. I don't know what his name is but you could find it on their home page. West Bend has its own Police Department, of which I was a member of in the 70's. That department is headed by a Chief of Police. That person is appointed by either the Police & Fire Commission or the City Council and/or City Administrator. That name could be obtained by looking at the WBPD website.


Can you sue the county you were arrested in for a crime they could not prove thus you lost a good paying job housing and family cars?

You may have a case. ============================ It depends. Did the police have evidence, probable cause or reasonable suspicion that you were connected to the crime? You would have to prove that your arrest was unlawful. The fact that the case could not be proved is immaterial and would not automatically mean that your arrest was unlawful. If the police can porve that your arrest was necessary and lawful you probably have no case.


Who conduct the presentence investigation?

It depends entirely on the court system, the county, or the state you are in.
