I am not sure if feds can override local authority...but this would be interesting...if federal authorities just overrode the procrime “sheriff”....cynical attempt by him to keep crime alive in his district so he can have a job...hope it backfires on him personally so he can understand the evil he is allowing to fester.

If he violates a serious enough federal law, they could stick him in a federal hoosegow.

I've always heard that the Sheriff is the single most powerful law enforcement officer in the county.. It's because he's an "elected official." (?)
