GADSDEN, Ala. - An Alabama sheriff legally used more than $750,000 of funds meant to feed inmates to purchase a beach house.

Etowah County Sheriff Todd Entrekin told The Birmingham News he follows a state law passed before World War II that allows sheriffs to keep "excess" inmate-feeding funds.

How is that legal?
I wonder just how well his inmates were eating? Or maybe he made it a point not to have inmates so he could save money for his beach house?
