Gov. Doug Ducey is not ready to put any distance between himself and Joe Arpaio.
“Let’s see how the court hearings play out,” the governor said in response to a question of whether he still supports the sheriff.
The comments came at the end of a week of testimony by the sheriff and some of his top deputies at a federal court hearing to determine if Arpaio should be found in contempt of court, including a bombshell admission by Arpaio that his attorney hired a private detective to investigate the wife of the judge hearing the case.
