Shaq for Sheriff? O’Neal says he wants to run in 2020

If there’s a new sheriff in town, well, his name might just be Shaquille O’Neal.

The former Miami Heat star center told Atlanta television station WXIA his interest in law enforcement continues and he wants to run for sheriff – he has not said where, exactly – in 2020.

O’Neal, 45, has been working in Atlanta as a studio analyst for TNT at night while, apparently, installing home security systems during the day.

In 2015, O’Neal was sworn in as a reserve officer in Doral; he has also been sworn in with a sheriff’s department near Atlanta as well as with various police departments in Arizona, Los Angeles and South Florida.
