| Description | Sheriff Joe Arpaio says the arrest of U.S. Senate candidate Jim Pederson's son was not politically motivated. And there's no reason to believe that's not the case.
Even though the initial call alleging Pederson's son was involved with drugs came to one of Arpaio's top people. And that it took at least five deputies to bring down a less-than-cunning individual who had some marijuana and painkillers.
According to court papers filed to get a search warrant, James Pederson, 24, melted before a narcotics deputy who questioned him at his stopped car. Pederson admitted possessing illegal prescription drugs, the report says, and led detectives into his house where he showed them the rest of his stash. |
