Poor Pat Sullivan. Until yesterday, the 68-year-old Colorado retired police officer had a distinguished career as a national “Sheriff Of the Year” honoree with the local clink named after him. But now Mr. Sullivan sits holed up in a lonely jail cell in his namesake—the Patrick J. Sullivan, Jr. Detention Center—deprived of meth and gay sex.

According to the Denver Post:

 Drug task-force officers were “visually monitoring” the deal when the 68-year-old former national Sheriff of the Year delivered methamphetamine to an Aurora home and sought sex in return, said current Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.

“This shows that no one is above the law, particularly a current or a former peace officer,” Robinson said.

Robinson said Sullivan had an ongoing relationship with the man as well as other men he had a history of bonding out of jails in the metro region.

Sullivan is being held on $250,000 bail in the jail that bears his name, the Patrick J. Sullivan Jr. Detention Facility. He was sheriff from 1984 until his retirement in 2002.

Can’t wait to see Breaking Bad rip this one from the headlines.
