When I was in Arizona, my sister was telling me about "Sheriff Joe". He apparently rules Arizona crime and , if you pardon the pun, doesnt take any prisoners.
The jail is out in the desert and consists of tents. When they had the record temperatures of 49 degrees, they showed him walking through the tented jail with an ice lolly, talking to the inmates and saying things like, if you can't stand this heat, make sure you don't come back!!
Seems to have a huge following and lots of stories about him, not sure how much are folklore but certainly seems to have a different approach to us!
