The Sheriff disrespects Grant by asking unnecessary questions. He has the power to say yes or no and likely has his mind made-up. Regardless, he wants to know details and notes that Grant might be too smart for his own good. He looks down on Grant because he is a black man and resents him because he is intelligent.
