Update: Arizona detention officer will spend night in jail after all.
By Carlos Miller
Further making a national mockery out of the Arizona legal system, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office refused to book one of its own Tuesday night because of some unexplained clerical error.
Adam Stoddard surrendered to the jail as he was ordered to, but was then told to go home after the error was discovered.
According to Heat City:
“The judge screwed up the order of confinement,” said deputy county attorney Tom Liddy.
Liddy said the error was no fault of Stoddard or the sheriff’s office.
“He did self surrender,” the attorney said. “He is in compliance with the order.
So now we must wait until Wednesday morning to see how Superior Court Judge Gary Donahoe will respond to the accusation from a county attorney that he “screwed up.”
So far, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Liddy and Stoddard have done nothing but snub their noses at Donahoe, who is supposedly the highest ranked judge in Maricopa County.
Last month, Donahoe found Stoddard in contempt of court after he was caught on video swiping a document from a defense attorney’s case file. Donahoe ordered Stoddard to apologize publicly by December 1 or face incarceration.
Stoddard refused to apologize and is still a free man.

Fernandez, as I mentioned in a 
Don’t you love it? Judge screwed up the order. Ha!
You can bet that Sherriff Joe’s lawyers scrutinized Stoddard’s paperwork. Searching for loopholes, guess they found one.
Now we’ll wait and see if Judge Donahoe discovers he has a spine.
I wonder if they would send ANYONE ELSE home due to a clerical “mistake”. This is complete bullshit.

God Damnit! I hate Arpaio so fucking much!!! When will that old piece of shit die
When will the people of Maricopa figure out that they have a spine and not re-elect “America’s Sheriff”. If the people like him he’s going to continue to get elected. I guess until you are his target you probably think the stuff he does is OK .
How ‘convinient’.
Probably the same “error” of a misplaced comma or somesuch that appears on all the boilerplate/template orders of confinement.
I believe the best way to describe this is bullshit. Plain runny stinky bullshit. Have a nice day.
You idiots should all have to go to Joe’s jail and wear pink and eat bolgna sandwiches. You spineless d%#kheads. especially ADAM, Ronny and Duane.
Jerry,
You do realize you’re no different than the people you hate? A mirror image. So sad….
Adam #5… Let’s hope after you do
