And which imbecile would think that would have no consequences?

This sheriff is in the middle of a pissing war with the state courts and the Federal Court. The Federal Court (which trumps the state court) has mandated the sheriff make the jail less crowded and/or build a new one, which cannot happen now. So, the state court knows this and then sentences this idiot to 45 days. The sheriff gets pissed and sends her home to house arrest. This is the same sheriff who released any inmate under a bond less than $10,000, then the courts raised the bonds and so did the sheriff. So, this is not really about Paris Hilton, loathesome though she may be.
