Round up a posse

Someone in Panama City Florida needs to make a citizen's arrest of the town's sheriff Frank McKeithen for his method of pursuing illegal aliens. He shows up at a construction site with about a half of dozen cruisers, lights flashing I imagine, and waits to see who runs. He then chases them and arrests them on some specious charges such as trespassing or loitering (can one run and loiter simultaneously I wonder). He then turns the names and addresses of anyone he suspects of being an undocumented worker to the immigration authorities. For some reason there is no mention of any arrests of employers for hiring these folks illegally but I sure that is just an oversight by an inexperienced journalist.
