Davidson County, North Carolina, Sheriff Gerald Hege had better like the color pink. He had some of the cells in his jail painted that color, and there's a chance he might see the inside of one now. Hege likes to boast his jail is one of the toughest in the nation, with 24-hour lockdown and no TVs or newspapers. But he has now been charged with 15 counts of embezzlement and obstruction of justice.
