    • Saban accused Arpaio of defamation when both of them were running for sheriff.

    It centered around a TV report highlighting an old accusation against Saban.

    Saban accused Arpaio of using his office to humiliate him.

    • A civil suit Saban filed claimed that he was defamed when the Sheriff's Office launched a criminal probe on a rape accusation and then tipped-off local media.

    Arpaio claimed it was the TV station's fault for running the story.
