His grant request to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security had been approved. His tiny department was to receive a $26,000 Dodge Durango. The sheriff's joy over the glad tidings turned out to be short-lived.

When Mack went to pick up the sport-utility vehicle a few weeks ago, he learned that it came with strings attached. He was told it could be used only when responding to a terrorist attack.

But to park a perfectly good Durango in a storage shed to wait for terrorists while his part-time deputy works from a 1999 Durango with 210,000 miles on the odometer seemed odd.

"It's a crying shame to have all those tax dollars sitting there collecting dust," is how Mack put it in an interview with the Sioux Falls Argus Leader. Following that bit of honesty, the sheriff was told by Hamlin County commissioners to keep his opinions to himself. "I'm not supposed to do any more interviews," he said in a phone conversation Wednesday.
