PHOENIX — Federal authorities say they're closing their
abuse-of-power investigation into Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in
Arizona without filing charges against him.
Authorities were investigating America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Birmingham Scheel released a statement
Friday saying her office "is closing its investigation into allegations
of criminal conduct" by current and former members of the sheriff's and
county attorney's offices.
