PHOENIX (AP) An Arizona sheriff known for his defiant political style will face questions in court for a second straight day over his disobedience of a judge's orders in a racial profiling case.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio spent a half hour on the witness stand late Wednesday afternoon during a contempt-of-court hearing and is expected to resume his testimony on Thursday.
The lawman has already acknowledged the contempt violations, including that his office let its officers conduct immigration patrols for 18 months after the judge ordered them stopped.
He was shown news videos made after the patrols were banned in which Arpaio proclaimed he would continue enforcing immigration laws. He explained in court that he was referring to other state immigration laws that his office was allowed to enforce at the time.
