Arpaio is a self aggrandizing petty tyrant. This stuff isn't new. He's been pulling stunts like pink underwear, green bologna, chain gangs, and tent cities for years now. Always with the cameras trained on him. Yet, for being such a tough guy, he can't seem to handle any criticism, and whose authoritarian hand isn't limited to convicted criminals.

Hmm...

They dump it in a lake because no carrier will deliver it to a purchaser? If they could deliver it to a lake, why couldn't they deliver it to a purchaser?
