CENTENNIAL, Colo.—A former Arapahoe County sheriff accused of trading methamphetamine for sex has waived his right to a hearing on evidence in the case.
Sixty-nine-year-old Patrick Sullivan appeared in court in Centennial on Monday with his attorneys. Prosecutors were ready to present the evidence supporting the charges against him but Sullivan decided against it.
He declined to comment about the case but, when asked how he’s doing, Sullivan said “Great. It’s a beautiful day.”
Sullivan was the sheriff in Arapahoe County from 1984 until 2002. He faces charges of possession of methamphetamine, distribution of methamphetamine, attempting to influence a public servant and solicitation of a prostitute.
He’s free on bond and due back in court April 3 for an arraignment.
