SMITHNow according to KTAR talk radio, the popular Sheriff Joe Arpaio claims he is excited that Shaq's coming to his town.Reportedly Arpaio "deputized" Shaquille O'Neal, now a player for the Phoenix Sun - two years ago."Actually, I made him a colonel after he won the NBA championship (with the Miami Heat in 2006)," Arpaio said after learning of the trade."He's a great addition to the Valley. He's a good guy and likes law enforcement, and I hope he'll be good for the Phoenix Suns."The sheriff added, ``I'm glad he's coming out to my turf. I'm hoping we'll recruit him for our posse. Maybe we'll go after illegal immigrants and other crime."Arpaio expressed "concern" to KTAR: "The only problem I have is he keeps saying he wants to run for sheriff in Florida or California. I hope he doesn't get any ideas here in Phoenix. However, I'd beat him anyway."
