Editor's note: Makes one Shark wonder why the judges in the Probate Court of Cook County could not be held to pay on the same standard of theft, burglary and misconduct? Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

HARLAN, Ky. (AP) — Harlan County
Judge-Executive
Joe Grieshop has been arrested on burglary, theft and official
misconduct charges.
Sheriff Marvin
J. Lipfird, who arrested Grieshop on Tuesday, told the Harlan
Daily Enterprise that Grieshop was released on bond.
The newspaper said repeated
attempts to reach Grieshop for comment were unsuccessful.
Lipfird said the investigation
is continuing and a preliminary hearing will be held. The sheriff said other
people may also be charged.
Grieshop was not indicted but
arrested on a warrant that Lipfird obtained in December. He said he didn't
arrest Grieshop immediately because other agencies advised him to wait.
Grieshop is charged in the
warrant with third-degree burglary, theft by unlawful taking over $10,000, 10
counts of retaliating against a participant in a legal process and one count of
first-degree official misconduct.
