Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said he understood he was risking contempt of court in refusing to have deputies carry out the rising number of eviction requests, but mortgage holders must be accountable.
"These mortgage companies only see pieces of paper, not people, and don't care who's in the building," Dart said.

And here is the Sheriff's statement.
I think it's kind of neat that the sheriff's name is Dart. He seems like a decent guy and reminds me of the lovable Sheriff Bart from Blazing Saddles.
