America's toughest sheriff


East Valley Tribune wins Pulitzer for Arpaio series
The East Valley Tribune won a Pulitzer Prize — the most prestigious journalism award — for its five-part investigative series about Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office’s illegal immigration efforts.

The articles reported that MCSO’s ability to protect the public suffered because of its increased immigration enforcement. Tribune reporter Ryan Gabrielson and former Tribune reporter Paul Giblin spent about six months on the project, which was published July 9-13, 2008.
