Cuyahoga County interim sheriff walked into a mess and has been cleaning up ever since

CLEVELAND — Frank Bova had no idea what to expect in March when he agreed to serve as the Cuyahoga County sheriff for 45 days.

He second-guessed his decision while driving downtown to take the oath of office. He didn't think taking the law enforcement equivalent of a temporary job was a big deal -- until he saw a pack of reporters waiting in the Justice Center lobby.

"I knew the Sheriff's Office had problems," Bova said. "I didn't truly know how much until I got down here and looked for myself. I knew I could make difference."
