Former Sheriff's Name Taken Off Jail Where He's Now An Inmate
April 11, 2012

Former Arapahoe County Sheriff Patrick Sullivan before a court hearing last month.
Patrick Sullivan, the former sheriff in Arapahoe County, Colo., who's serving a 38-day sentence for trying to trade methamphetamine for sex with a man, isn't being held any longer in a jail that bears his name.
"Arapahoe County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday morning to remove Pat Sullivan's name from the jail and rename the facility after its original name — the Arapahoe County Detention Center," Denver's KUSA-TV reports. The station adds that, "about 30 minutes after the meeting, 9Wants to Know visited the jail and found the name was already removed."
(H/T to Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep.)
I think they should have left it on. What could be more appropriate?
@BumbleBeeBoogie,
Never never name any public buildings, parks, roads/highways, schools, warships after someone until the person is safety dead for a few years at least.
Stumble It!
