Sheriff Joe was facing what was considered his strongest re-election challenge in years from Democrat Dan Saban, a former sheriff's deputy, Mesa police officer and Buckeye police chief.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio rolled to victory in his fifth general election.
Arpaio was facing what was considered his strongest re-election challenge in years from Democrat Dan Saban, a former sheriff's deputy, Mesa police officer and Buckeye police chief.
But Arpaio beat Saban 56 percent to 41 percent with 80 percent of the precincts reporting.
Saban failed in an earlier effort to wrest the office in the state's most populous county from Arpaio, who's known for his tent city jail, where he outfits prisoners in pink underwear, feeds them green bologna and has them work on chain gangs.
Arpaio has been in office for 16 years and never faced a major re-election challenge.
WAY TO GO SHERIFF JOE!!!
