PHOENIX, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he plans to run for a sixth term in Maricopa County, Ariz., despite allegations his department engages in racial profiling.
The 79-year-old Republican, who is under fire from the Justice Department over the alleged racial profiling of Hispanics and has a national reputation for his hard-line stance on illegal immigrants, announced plans to run for re-election Friday.
