“I personally have not visited jail so frequently since the Watergate era.”

Deputy Maricopa County attorney Tom Liddy invoked his famous father’s troubled past on Friday when responding to an Arizona Republic reporter’s questions about whether jailed detention officer Adam Stoddard is, in fact, in jail.
Liddy’s father, G. Gordon Liddy, was one of the so-called White House “plumbers” during the Nixon administration. He was convicted of, among other things, contempt of court in the infamous break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate hotel in Washington, D.C. He served four and a half years in prison following the conviction.
