Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a man whose image is indelibly printed on the fabric of life in Phoenix, like the salt river that runs through the 'Valley of the Sun'.

It's in to his custody you'll head should you get yourself in trouble following Super Bowl XLIX between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.

At 82 years old he's been called "America'a Toughest Sheriff". He's been accused of abuse of power, unlawful enforcement of immigration laws and once claimed President Obama's birth certificate could be a forgery.

Sheriff Joe built the notorious Tent City Prison, but he's also a man whose been re-elected time and time again, and is hugely impressed by his own self and his worth.
