And he almost won the election...

"Sheriff Benny Napoleon won't commit to reimbursing Wayne County taxpayers for his use of a county vehicle during his failed mayoral campaign, months after promising he would.The Sheriff acknowledged to 7 Action News Investigator Ross Jones that he used his county vehicle to campaign, and initially said it was proper.
"I’m still the sheriff. I still have responsibilities to respond." Napoleon said. "The President campaigned and he used a plane…because he’s still the President."
But even the President reimburses taxpayers when he uses Air Force One for politics. The day after we interviewed Napoleon last November, he did an about face and issued a press release that said it’s important that “no taxpayer dollars were used” to fund his campaign travel, and he promised he’ll “rectify the matter immediately.”

He said he’ll pay whatever amount the county’s auditor says he owes taxpayers.
Now, Napoleon knows the amount, but is changing his mind again. According to his spokeswoman, the amount in question is “about $3,000.” But a source with direct knowledge of the auditor general’s investigation says that the real number is even greater than that, but wouldn’t be specific.
Napoleon now says he won't reimburse taxpayers until the county's ethics board weighs in. In a statement, his spokeswoman said even when Napoleon was on the campaign trail, he still “actively served as Sheriff and conducted his duties each day.”
