Munkey business in Vegas

Let's see how he'll explain this at election time...

San Mateo County Sheriff Greg Munks and his undersheriff, Carlos Bolanos, got nailed (no pun intended) in a prostitution raid at a Las Vegas massage parlor last weekend.

The sheriff pleads his innocence, saying, "I believed I was going to a legitimate business."

Wait a second. The man in charge of stopping criminal activity in San Mateo County can't even recognize criminal activity when he sees it? Munks either: (a) is the most inept law enforcement official of whom I've ever heard tell; or (b) just came up with the lamest, least credible excuse proffered since Bill Clinton "did not have sexual relations with that woman."

The voters of San Mateo County will have to decide which. Either way, it doesn't bode well for the crimebusting career of Sheriff Munks.

Neither Munks nor Undersheriff Bolanos, the former police chief of Redwood City, were formally charged by Vegas Five-0.

News reports failed to specify exactly whom the undersheriff was under at the time of the massage parlor sting.
