- "He's got witnesses, five or six of them."
- ―Sheriff[src]
The Sheriff was the local law enforcement official in the small town in Utah, where Indiana Jones lived in 1912. When Jones discovered treasure hunters looting the Cross of Coronado from a canyon, he sent his friend Herman to get the sheriff. When Jones managed to reach his house with the cross, Herman arrived, with the Sheriff and his deputy.
The Sheriff told Jones that if Jones returned the Cross to its rightful owners, they wouldn't press charges. Jones was crushed to learn that the Sheriff actually believed in Fedora and Panama Hat's side of the story to be true.
