Real County Sheriff under investigation

From the Yahoo article:
During another traffic stop in October, more than $2,700 in cash taken from three immigrants’ wallets was said to be marked as evidence while waiting to see if human smuggling charges against the driver would stick. The other two men were referred to Border Patrol, where they asked what had happened to the money in their wallets.
"Undocumented immigrants" are still breaking the law (no matter what title is given to them).
According to the sign posted earlier, they were warned!
I hope this doesn't go any further than just an investigation. I don't know the guy, but I know people that own property in Leakey and have owned for many generations. The Sheriff seems like he's trying his best to do right by the county, but with the influx of "city folk" to the area, that'll make it hard.
