Traficant First Raised Eyebrows, When As Sheriff, He Refused To Hold "Sheriff's Sales" On properties Owned By Out Of Work Steel Workers |
The County Judge Hated Seeing The County Sheriff Locked Up In The County Jail |
TRAFICANT WAS TO SAY THE LEAST, A CONTROVERSIAL FIGURE. THERE IS PLENTY OF MATERIAL OUT THERE ON THE INTERNETS TO KEEP YOUR INQUIRING MIND BUSY FOR HOURS. HE WAS A BIT OF A CONSPIRACY THEORIST TOO, BELIEVING THINGS ARE NOT ALWAYS AS THEY APPEAR AT FIRST GLANCE..., SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO DIG A LITTLE DEEPER. THAT'S THE DETECTIVE IN HIM I GUESS, THE STUFF THAT MADE HIM A NATURAL FOR BEING THE COUNTY SHERIFF IN NORTHEAST OHIO.
Outspoken, outrageous and colorful, Traficant served more than 17 years in the U.S. House as a Democrat until July 2002 when he became only the second member of Congress to be expelled since the Civil War.
That vote came shortly after a federal jury convicted him of 10 felony counts including racketeering, bribery, tax evasion and obstruction of justice.
