In reply to the discussion: Sober driver arrested for OWI when deputy crashes into her car [View all]dragonlady
(3,577 posts)8. Good point about the sheriff
It would be very interesting to find out how much personal involvement Sheriff David Clarke has with the handling of this case. He is a right-wing guy with some serious personality issues who runs as a Democrat because that's the only way he can get elected in Milwaukee County. (The Democratic Party disavows him strongly but can't legally stop him.) He is up for reelection in November (but effectively in the August primary) and has a serious challenger, Lt. Chris Moews, who made a good showing last time. Meanwhile Clarke has indicated that he may run for mayor!
