My Way News - Sheriff Threatens Reporters With Jail: "SAN DIEGO, Texas (AP) - When the Duval County sheriff said he would lock up reporters from local newspapers if they kept 'interfering' in his business, no one took the threat lightly.
For 20 years, Sheriff Santiago Barrera Jr. had done what he pleased with no challenges to his reign. He decided who sat in his jail and when they were released. Sometimes it was before a judge got involved and other times it was after.
'I brought the sheriff's department from nothing to what it is right now,' said the 67-year-old Barrera."

Sounds like a Judge Roy Bean for our time. I just wonder if he's as poetic.
Not likely.
