PHOENIX -- It looks like Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has become a victim of credit-card fraud.

Sheriff officials said Monday that Arpaio's credit-card information was stolen and used to make a $291 transaction at a Chicago grocery store last weekend.

Arpaio says he hasn't been to Chicago in years and his credit-card company alerted him to possible fraudulent activity.

The Arizona Republic says it's still unclear whether Arpaio's credit card was stolen or if the transaction was made by another means.

He says his card has been canceled to prevent any further fraudulent use as authorities try to figure out what happened.

    to see who the first numskull will be to post saying this is just a ploy to get media attention, or to give Arpaio a reason to blame illegal aliens or some other BS. Can't wait for a good laugh.

    "I believe people like Arpaio have hijacked our brand as Republicans," said Fisher in an interview with New America Media. "He's a liability to the party because he's hurting our brand, he's hurting what our party stands for. It's the party of Abraham Lincoln. We have to stop this hate."

    first numbskull post is The Chemist, followed closely by Micho. Congratulations to both, but then again is anyone really surprised? Probably not. Keep up the good work, public forums would be un-entertaining were it not for the hard work of the fools such as yourselves.

    Theyll issue a new card and move on. That is as fascinating and newsworthy as a flat tire.
