A Texas sheriff pissed off that the media covered the arrest of his son stooped to threatening reporters with jail time. "If you guys keep interfering with my business,” Sheriff Santiago Barrera Jr. said, according to reports, “I'm going to have you arrested."

In related news, Sheriff Barrera has just been nominated for the Fire in a Theater “Public Official of the Year” award. We have nothing but good things to say about Sheriff Barrera, who is an exemplary public servant that--we hope--will not arrest us.
