Michael S.
"Mike" Carona (born May 23, 1955) is a convicted felon and former Sheriff-Coroner of Orange County, California.
The Sheriff was the elected head of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
He gained national prominence during the hunt for the killer of Samantha Runnion.
After the quick capture of her murderer, Alejandro Avila, late night television host Larry King dubbed him "America's Sheriff" during an interview. In late 2007, a federal grand jury indicted Carona, his wife, and his alleged longtime mistress on corruption charges.
He resigned effective January 14, 2008, and was convicted on one count of witness tampering, a year later.
He was sentenced to 66 months in prison and on January 25, 2011, turned himself in to a federal prison in Colorado to start serving time on the conviction.
In May 2015, he was released to his Orange, California, home for home confinement after being released from Federal Medical Center, Lexington and spending time at a halfway house in Los Angeles County.
