A former Colorado lawman with a record so distinguished he was once honored as the nation’s sheriff of the year now finds himself in a jail that was named for him, is accused of offering methamphetamine in exchange for sex with men.
Now, former Sheriff Sullivan, age 68, is no longer the tough-talking lawman. He is the “old man” who a 911 caller asked police to remove from his home and the one accused of offering methamphetamine to a man in exchange for sex.
How he went from being voted the nation’s sheriff a decade ago to getting bailed out of the jail that bears his name has perplexed many in an affluent Colorado county, where he served as top-cop for decades.
Colorado law enforcement officals are now looking deeper into an unsolved investigation of a January 26, 2011 drowning of 27-year-old Sean Moss (photo right), a former gay porn performer who used the stage name, Joshua Berlin, and the autopsy for whom showed intoxication from meth and gamma-hydroxybutryic acid, or GHB, best known as a date rape drug. Less than two weeks before Moss’s death, Sullivan reportedly posted bail for Moss’s arrest in a domestic violence case involving another man in a Denver suburb. Police say Moss’s case remained open because the coroner could not determine the cause of death.
Moss, also used to work at the Triple C Bathhouse in Denver. Several patrons of the bathhouse have come forward claiming Sullivan was a regular at the Triple C following a recent search of the establishment by police on Friday.
Sullivan recommended Moss for a job as a security guard for the local high school, where Moss worked only for 13 day prior to his body turning up in the Platt River.
