Ross Mirkarimi (born August 4, 1961) is the former Sheriff of San Francisco, California. After a tenure as Sheriff that was plagued by multiple scandals, Mirkarimi was defeated in his reelection bid by former Chief Deputy Sheriff Vicki Hennessy on November 3, 2015. Prior to being sheriff, he served on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, representing District 5 from 2005 to 2011. Mirkarimi was elected sheriff in November 2011. He served from January to March 2012, at which time he was charged with domestic violence battery, child endangerment, and dissuading a witness in connection with a December 31, 2011 New Year's Eve altercation with his wife, and Mayor Ed Lee suspended him from office pending an ethics investigation.〔Richmond, Josh (January 13, 2012) ("San Francisco sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to face misdemeanor charges." ) ''San Jose Mercury News.''〕 Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor false imprisonment.〔''San Francisco Chronicle'' "(Mayor says he'll suspend Mirkarimi )"〕 According to the San Francisco city charter, removing a public official for misconduct requires the vote of nine of eleven supervisors; only seven supervisors voted to remove Mirkarimi from his office and he was reinstated in October 2012.〔(October 9, 2012) ("Mirkarimi apparently has enough votes to keep his job." ) San Francisco Chronicle. (Retrieved 10-9-2012.)〕〔Knight, Heather and Coté, John (October 9, 2012) ("Ross Mirkarimi to keep job, supes decide." ) San Francisco Chronicle. (Retrieved 10-9-2012.)〕 Mirkarimi is a co-founder of the Green Party of California. However, in March 2010, he became a Democrat.〔Tim Redmond, ("Mirkarimi's a Democrat, Newsom's a candidate" ); March 10, 2010; San Francisco Bay Guardian.〕 As a supervisor, Mirkarimi received national attention in 2007 when he introduced the first legislation prohibiting the use of non-biodegradable plastic bags by large supermarkets and drugstores, making San Francisco the first city to do so.〔 〕 ==Personal life== Rostam Mirkarimi was born in Chicago to Nancy Kolman, a 19-year-old descended from Russian Jews, and Hamid Mirkarimi, an Iranian immigrant. His parents divorced when he was 5, and he moved with his mother to Jamestown, Rhode Island. He rarely saw his father. Mirkarimi graduated from the Catholic, all-male Bishop Hendricken High School in 1979. "I totally credit my childhood in Jamestown for my green views," Mirkarimi said. "I'll never forget living near Fort Getty and exploring the unspoiled island with my dog Oscar when I was a boy."〔The Jamestown Press (Green movement champion grew up in Jamestown ). April 24, 2008.〕 He has a Bachelor's degree in political science from St. Louis University, a Master's degree in international economics and affairs from Golden Gate University, and a Master of Science degree in environmental science from the University of San Francisco. He has lived in San Francisco since 1984. Mirkarimi is a graduate of the San Francisco Police Academy, where he was the president of his class. Before his election to office, he served in the San Francisco District Attorney's Office investigating white collar crime.〔 In 2009, Mikarimi became a father, as his wife, Eliana Lopez, a Venezuelan telenovela star whom he met at an environmental conference in Brazil, gave birth to their son.〔The San Francisco Chronicle.
