The sheriff, his wife, a mistress, and lots of cash
Posted by Fired Fred on October 30, 2007 4:17 PM
All is not bikinis and beach bums in the O.C. Mike Carona is the sheriff with an odd taste for women named Deb. He married one and played "hide the nightstick" with the other.
Those patient, understanding women had a lot to gain from Mikey. Lots and lots of cash. Whatever issues they might have with being the other woman didn't stop them from working together to make sweet, sweet profits...
The gifts -- primarily from former Orange County Assistant Sheriff Don Haidl -- included cash payments of as much as $112,000, a boat, a trip to Lake Tahoe and ringside tickets to the Oscar De La Hoya-Felix Trinidad title fight at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, the indictment says.Mikey's been at this for almost ten years, the Feds are saying. They indicted Sheriff Mike, which should mean he'll be trading in the brown uniform shirt for a uniform orange jumpsuit. He's facing 105 years in jail.
This probably rules out any more talk of America's Sheriff heading to Sacramento. If he'd kept himself under control, he could have legally looted taxpayers like every other politician. But he got greedy and started too early.
