Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Congratulations to the New Times reader known as HermanKain, you’ve won this week’s New Times You Write the Caption contest.
On Monday, we asked readers to write their own caption for the photo above, a self-portrait of Pinal County Sheriff Paul “studboi1” Babeu, which accompanied the New Times story Friday that detailed abuse-of-power allegations against the sheriff made by his ex-boyfriend.
We picked the five best captions, and put those up for a popular vote.
HermanKain beat out the rest of the field with the following:
“There’s a new sheriff in town, pardner, and he’s hardon crime”
To retrieve your prize of a firm handshake and/or high-five, please mail your hand to (or come by and ask for) Matthew Hendley at 1201 East Jefferson Street in Phoenix.
