Is Sheriff Joe Arpaio a felon?

No, Joe Arpaio is not a convicted felon. Such accusations are only his political opposition trying to fool voters.

Sheriff Arpaio is a veteran of the United States Army, a former police officer, and a former federal agent. Furthermore, even though the sheriff is an elected position, most counties require that they be commissioned law enforcement officers.

Felons may not be commissioned law enforcement officers under federal law.
