A typical run-of-the-mill small-town sheriff ripped from the playbook of typical run-of-the-mill small-town sheriffs, Sheriff Diaz appeared in small bursts to intimidate Clay Jensen with baseless threats simply because he was convinced that he had got his man.

It’s strange because he wasn’t intentionally portrayed as intimidating, but his one-dimensional characterisation made it come off like he was. But the fact of the matter is that, if it were up to him, an innocent boy would have gone to jail.
