Former Colorado Sheriff Sentenced In Meth For Sex Case
A judge has sentenced a former Arapahoe County Sheriff to 30 days in jail and two years of probation.
Sixty-nine-year-old Patrick Sullivan pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony possession of methamphetamine and a misdemeanor count of solicitation for prostitution. He was the sheriff in Arapahoe County from 1984 until 2002.
Sullivan was arrested after a sting operation last year in which investigators say he offered methamphetamine to a man in exchange for sex.
Prosecutors said they wanted Sullivan to serve time behind bars, while defense attorneys sought probation.
