By Beth Stebner PUBLISHED: 17:01 EST, 10 April 2012 | UPDATED: 07:32 EST, 11 April 2012 The former sheriff of the year who was last year caught in a meth-for-sex sting will no longer be incarcerated in a jail bearing his name. The Arapahoe County Commission voted unanimously to remove the Patrick J. Sullivan Detention Centre sign from the Colorado jail; it was taken down Tuesday, leaving only shadowy traces of the shamed former sheriff’s name. The jail will go back to its original name of the Arapahoe County Justice Centre Detention Facility. Sullivan was sentenced only a week ago after he was caught on video in a police sting. The jail was rededicated and renamed in his honour in 2002.
