PHOENIX -- The Department of Justice has impaneled a grand jury to look into allegations of abuse of power by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, according to subpoenas sent to at least two county officials.

Maricopa County Manager David Smith and County Budget Director Sandi Wilson both said they had been subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury next week to testify about their interactions with the Sheriff's Office.

Federal officials have been investigating whether Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his office are using their power to retaliate against critics -- a subject at the center of a recent 5 Investigates report.

At the time, several people -- including Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon -- confirmed they had spoken with the FBI about the subject.

With any luck, this will precipitate Sheriff Joe's retirement, preferably with a special pension plan. One that provides 3 squares and a cot, and provides lots of things to do to pass the time, such as making license plates, or breaking big rocks into little rocks...
