Sheriff under fire in Paris Hilton case
The Associated Press ^ | Jun 8 | MICHAEL BLOOD

Posted on 06/09/2007 5:14:25 PM PDT by george76

- This is not the first time that Lee Baca, the sheriff who opened the jail door for Paris Hilton, has had his judgment questioned.

He's been accused of using his authority to benefit friends and supporters. Since taking office he's accepted thousands of dollars worth of freebie meals, sports tickets and trips.

Now Baca is facing accusations of favoritism after making the decision that allowed Hilton to leave jail Thursday to serve out her sentence at her West Hollywood home.

After ordering Hilton back to her cell Friday, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer said he "at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff."

The union representing deputy sheriffs demanded that Baca "put a stop to his special treatment for celebrity inmates." And county Supervisor Don Knabe said he was stunned to find out Baca released Hilton without consulting the court.

"I would have thought he would have better judgment than that," Knabe said.

The county Board of Supervisors will demand a report on Hilton's release and Baca's decision-making in the matter, Knabe said.

the blowback is not extraordinary.

In 2004, he took more gifts than California's other 57 sheriffs combined.

Yeah, I heard the sheriff went missing, but he was later found in Paris.

I read earlier today that Paris Hilton’s grandfather donated to the sheriff last election campaign the maximun amount allowed by law.
This sheriff has taken a lot of donations from celebrities.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio said that he never allows a probation violator to go home and be on an electronic monitoring device. Never. And he never allows a DUI offender to not serve some jail time as it’s just too serious a crime to forego proper punishment, and that that jail time could be as much as 90 days.

Sheriff Joe and Sheriff Baca are two very vastly different county jail managers. Glen Campbell was caught DUI here in Phoenix. And HE did jail time. AND he gave a concert to the inmates, too. (not that we’d wanna’ see Paris wiggling her rear end around after her sentence is done); the poor saps in jail have to have SOME dignity left to them.

Makes total sense when you consider the greedy cult Baca belongs to and endorses: Scamentology

Baca does eL.Ron, Crowley, et al, proud.

Let's run that through the good ol' De-Spin-erator:

In 2004, he took more gifts BRIBES than California's other 57 sheriffs combined.

Wow! That De-Spin-erator works wonders!

Maybe if Paris had murdered a couple of white people like OJ did, she could have gotten off.

I want to know what LAPD was doing performing crowd control at the Paris Hilton home Friday morning? That is in West Hollywood.
