Current Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson, who served under Sullivan, told reporters that it appears Sullivan may have done the same before with other men -- men he bonded out of jail.
But that's just the beginning, as some of the people involved in the case have said Sullivan may have been smoking meth himself and trying to get recovering addicts to try it. One of the men who was involved with Sullivan was found dead earlier this year.
By all accounts, the stories have shocked Sullivan's family and colleagues (Sullivan retired from the department in 2002 and served as director of security for Cherry Creek Schools until 2008), including the men and women who are now prosecuting him.
It's particularly creepy when you look at the photos of the silver-haired sheriff looking official in old pictures compared to his pasty white skin in an orange jumpsuit, walking with a cane in the same courthouse where he likely helped convict many criminals.
But the fact that Sullivan is old and decrepit looking doesn't change the fact that anyone who preys on the vulnerable -- turning their back on their life's work -- is a slimebag.
