Crime Fighter

The Resume

    (November 11, 1929-September 28, 2011)
    Born in Jaruco, Cuba
    Former undercover vice and narcotics officer
    Sheriff of Broward County, Florida (1985-92)
    Founded Navarro Security Group, Ltd. (1993)

Why he might be annoying:

    Critics considered him a shameless self-promoter.
    He busted 2 Live Crew for obscenity.
    He was reprimanded by a judge for 'unconstitutional prior restraint' for threatening to arrest record store owners who sold the group's 'As Nasty As They Wanna Be' album even before it was found legally obscene.
    He was reprimanded by another judge for ordering unconstitutional random searches of passengers at county bus and railroad stations.
    After he lost the Republican primary, he tried to have the election results nullified, claiming that too many voters had failed to return after Hurricane Andrew.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had to hide out in safe houses after the FBI found his name on a drug kingpin's hit list (1981).
    He was a technical advisor for the movie 'Scarface.'
    He was the first (and for quite a while only) sheriff to cooperate with Cops, which shot all but one episode of its first season in Broward County.
    He accurately predicted to reporters, 'You guys in the press are going to get a lot of ink out of me.'
