He opposed concealed carry.

He opposed military pattern semi-automatic firearms.

Now he sits in the jail which is named after him charged with trading drugs for sex.

He allegedly used his power to intimidate young boys and men and is also alleged to have HIV, which could cause additional charged to be levied.

CENTENNIAL — Authorities began investigating former Araphoe County Sheriff Patrick Sullivan after a Centennial man called police in September and said "an old guy" was trying to get his roommates back into drugs and had been smoking methamphetamine with them, according to a police report.

When the Centennial man asked Sullivan to leave and said he was going to call 911, Sullivan told the man "If you want the police I am the police," the man told officers.

I read about this and didn't bring it here because his stance on firearms ownership is not part of this story.

Interesting, but not firearms related.
