Any cases of crooked sheriffs getting busted by the feds, but the feds needing a coroner to do the actual arrest/booking?

I can tell you that is not true in my state. Sheriff got booked in his own jail (while being head man) by TBI. Now he never spent time in a cell, but he was booked then when back to his office.

Feds would book in their own facility and go to fed court.

Why would they need a coroner to do the arrest/booking? maybe you mean it's an autopsy

That would only apply to arrests for state law violations. State law can not prohibit the federal government from enforcing federal law.

Any state (as opposed to local) LEO is a "designee" of the Governor. Nonetheless, I find it hard to believe that if a local LEO pulled over a sheriff for DUI and he was drunk as a skunk, there would be any legal impediment to arresting him.

Who knows....


WI State Constitution has a provision that specifically empowers the coroner with arrest authority over the Sheriff.

It doesn't say that the Coroner is the ONLY one that can arrest the Sheriff.  

I think the idea is that the Sheriff runs the jail. New arrests arrive at the jail. In a crooked system the Sheriff would simply release himself from the jail. To prevent that they gave the Coroner overriding authority.

Actually in South Carolina the coroner is the one to arrest the sheriff.  

SECTION 23-15-120. Coroner to serve or execute process on sheriff in certain circumstances.

If the sheriff shall be a party plaintiff or defendant in any judicial process, execution, warrant, summons or notice to be served or executed within his county, the coroner shall serve or execute such process, execution, warrant, summons or notice. In the discharge of such duties he shall incur such liabilities as would by law attach to their performance by the sheriff himself.

HISTORY: 1962 Code Section 53-205; 1952 Code Section 53-205; 1942 Code Sections 3477, 3566; 1932 Code Sections 3477, 3566; Civ. C. '22 Sections 2026, 2111; Civ. C. '12 Sections 1140, 1290; Civ. C. '02 Sections 824, 892; G. S. 646, 712; R. S. 707, 763; 1785 (7) 215; 1839 (11) 78.

Coroners do have some unique powers that can exceed those that the sheriff has, at least in some states.  The feds can arrest anyone they want, obviously.

 



I have no idea of that's true in NewYoristan.

Yup.  It also prevents the sheriff from killing people without investigations.  It's actually a pretty good checks and balances thing, though not terribly relevant in the age of the FBI, etc.

In Arizona, the Sheriff can ask the feds to leave his county if he so desires. The Sheriff is the Chief Executive Law Enforcement Officer in the county. Period.

LOL the infamous (here in Hamilton County) Billy Long. See the newly elected Sheriff made a deal with some cocaine traffickers to cut him in on the deal and he would look the other way. Unfortunately, one was working for the TBI. Woopsie! He's in jail now but yep - our sheriff was arrested and put in his own jail.

years ago our sheriff was killed in a gunfight (he instantly killed the man that shot him).    the coroner was then sheriff until a special election was called.   in a small county the sheriff is the highest elected official.

Sheriff Who Challenged Feds for Amish Raw Dairy Farmer Receives Award for “Meritorious Valor”; CA Sheriff Vows to Protect Herdshares

"According to Richard Mack, the former Arizona sheriff who organized the event, “This is about America. It is about whether we are going to preserve our Constitution.” In describing the inaugural sheriffs convention, he added, “It is not a call to arms, or violence, or insurrection. There is nothing subversive here. Quite the opposite.”
He noted that the sheriffs in attendance “swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, specifically the Bill of Rights…They are untouchables. You cannot violate the Bill of Rights.” Sheriffs, he said, “are sworn Constitutional guards. We are the executors of the law. The supreme law is the Constitution. We interpose on behalf of people.”

Obviously the feds can come in any time. Here, this only applies to LEOs residing inside the county. For example, the sheriff gets a DUI from a city cop, the coroner has to go down and sign the warrant. The city cop can detain, handcuff, and take to jail... cut the coroner has to sign the warrant that actually places him under arrest.
