On Tuesday night, Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta, Canada, arrested a 16-year-old suspect on charges related to threatening the lives of Sheriff Joe Arpaio and members of his family. The arrest comes two days after the suspect sent the second of two threats to Arpaio. It was just last month that the suspect was questioned by Canadian investigators for a threat made against Arpaio over the summer.
Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office detectives received information in July of this year regarding a threat made by the suspect that led to an investigation by Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Sheriff Arpaio is appreciative of the investigation conducted by the RCMP that has now led to the arrest of the juvenile suspect.
The July 2013 threat from the suspect said: “Joe Arpaio, you are a massive dickhead and I hate you so much you dick sucking shitface. I’m going to murder you and your whole family including your wife, children and grandchildren. I’m also going to bomb your house and afterwards burn down the remains. May your death be horrible.”
This past Sunday, October 13, 2013, a second threat was received:
Greetings, Sherrif Joe. It’s been a while since I last emailed you. I really hate you.
I hate you so much that I’ve decided enough is enough. You deliberately ruin peoples lives, and embarrass the inmates that you confine. Tonight however, it is you that will be confined… for life. I am stationed at an undisclosed location in Phoenix.
