ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Arapahoe County Commissioners decided without argument Tuesday to rename the Patrick Sullivan Detention Center in the wake of the former sheriff’s admission that he traded methamphetamine for sex.

The name of detention center will go back to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Detention Facility, the original name given in 1986.

“We have a greater purpose here than being embarrassed. Our goal is to serve our community,” said current Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson.

The removal of Sullivan’s name brings closure to many who are outraged by his behavior, regardless of which side of the bars they’re on.

A former inmate, only identified as “Blanca,” expressed her feelings to FOX31 Denver after she was released from jail Tuesday.

“I feel embarrassed myself,” she told us. “I just got released from here, but he should feel more embarrassed, I mean he was law.”

Sullivan, who served as the Arapahoe County Sheriff from 1984 until his retirement in 2002, is currently serving a 30-day sentence in the jail after pleading guilty last week to felony drug possession and soliciting a prostitute.

The commission will now vote on a proposed ban on naming any county buildings after any person who is still alive.
