Colorado: Petitions have been approved against Ouray County Sheriff, who is facing recall efforts over DUI

Petitions have been approved to seek the recall of Ouray County Sheriff Lance FitzGerald.

Fitzgerald is facing recall threats started by the County Republicans party and joined by the Democrats, after he was accused of a DUI. His girlfriend was accused of domestic violence last year and was in jail for five days. He won office by 11 votes as an unaffiliated candidate, though he beat a Republican.
