In the ongoing battle between the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Andrew Thomas and Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Mary Rose Wilcox has scored a victory.

A judge dismissed the indictment against Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, who was accused of conflict of interest, perjury and false swearing. In Tuesday's ruling, Judge John Leonardo accused Thomas of attacking the Board of Supervisors to further his political career.

After Leonardo's ruling, Thomas filed to dismiss the cases against Supervisor Don Stapley and Judge Gary Donahoe.

On a side note, it's been a busy sweeps month at CBS 5 News and KPHO.com. I'm working on another round-up post to catch up on everything we've missed.

Over the next week we'll be making some changes to our Sheriff Joe Arpaio Chronicles blog, including some layout changes as well as moving it to http://arpaio.kpho.com. Please bear with us as we make these changes.

Update: We've finished the switch to our new layout and URL. Got comments, questions, suggestions on the technical aspects of the blog? Leave a comment below. Note: I will be deleting off-topic comments from this thread, e.g. those that do not address the technical aspects of the blog -- layout, URL, ease of use, etc.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office is in trouble for destroying evidence. We just have to wait to find out how much.

A federal judge has found grounds for sanctions after some sheriff's officials admitted to deleting their e-mails and shredding records of traffic stops made during crime sweeps.

A lawsuit accuses deputies of racially profiling Hispanics during the crime sweeps.

"I am extremely happy in the courts finding," Arpaio said in a statement. "My office will we be cooperating fully in this matter. At the end of the day I am confident in my deputies and the service they provide to the citizens of Maricopa County."

The judge said he'll wait until related issues are sorted out before punishing MCSO.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio comes out swinging, saying his office's entire force needs to be trained in enforcing federal immigration law because he expects immigration-related problems to only worsen.

His announcement sparked immediate protests.

"He (Arpaio) is going to continue terrorizing the Latino community," said Alessandra Soler-Meetze, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona

Last week, someone on an anti-Arpaio Facebook group posted a satellite image and a map to Arpaio's Fountain Hills home, Phoenix television station 3TV (KTVK) reported.

From 3TV:

Sheriff Arpaio says threats against him are increasing, and he told his security detail about the posting.

(Devin) Fleenor, however, says he has been deleting references to violence against Arpaio, and he has taken down the map to his house.

This is not the first time one of Arpaio's addresses has been published.

When the Phoenix New Times published a story about Arpaio's land investments in 2004, the publication was hit with a far-reaching subpoena. In 2006, deputies arrested executive Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin after they wrote a story disclosing the contents of the subpoena.
