In a sweeps piece, Nexstar’s KDVR in Denver did a story about the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department and their take-home car policy.

The station reported that. prior to March, the sheriff’s office had a 20-mile rule: Basically, take-home cars were only meant for employees who lived within 20 miles of their workplace unless the sheriff granted an exception.

KDVR’s story pointed out that 31 out of 162 sheriff employees assigned take-home vehicles were commuting beyond 20 miles but still getting the free gas and maintenance associated with their take-home vehicles.

The Sheriff’s office took issue with the story and they took to social media to dispute what KDVR reported.
