Dozens of people received a Valentine's Day surprise: A sheriff's deputy on their doorstep with a warrant for their arrest.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office arrested 72 people on warrants Saturday as part of a deadbeat-parent roundup called "Operation Tough Love."

Out of that total, only 17 were deadbeat parents. The others were arrested for drug charges and other charges, said Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Despite the other charges, Arpaio said their main goal was to find deadbeat mothers and fathers. They targeted parents who have warrants out for their arrests for refusing a court order to pay child support.

He does this on Father's and Mother's day also. Local news claims that he has collected $2.5 million in the last few years.
