With the latest payout, former Sheriff Joe Arpaio has cost Arizona taxpayers $100M
Nearly five years after Joe Arpaio was voted out as sheriff of Arizona's most populous county, taxpayers are covering one of the last major bills from the thousands of lawsuits the lawman's headline-grabbing tactics inspired — and the overall legal tab has hit $100 million.
Officials in Maricopa County, home to Phoenix, agreed last week to pay $3.1 million to cover the county's portion of a settlement with a restaurant owner who alleged Arpaio defamed him and violated his rights when raiding his businesses.
Arpaio intends to run for mayor of Fountain Hills, a suburb of Phoenix that located in Maricopa County NE of Phoenix.
