Former Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who gained the moniker “America’s toughest sheriff” for his hard-line stance on illegal immigration, lost the bid to regain his old job.
The county elections department said Friday that vote tallies showed the 88-year-old Arpaio trailed his former chief deputy, Jerry Sheridan, by 6,280 votes out of 443,056 ballots cast in Tuesday’s four-way Republican primary for Maricopa County sheriff.
