A Florida ethics commission has determined that the sheriff of one of the state's biggest counties appears to have lied when he didn’t disclose in his job application that he fatally shot another teenager when he was 14
FILE - Acting Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony, right, speaks after being introduced by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, left, at the Broward County Sheriff's Office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Jan. 11, 2019. It appears Tony, appointed by Gov. DeSantis after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in February 2018, lied when he did not disclose he had fatally shot another teenager when he was 14 and that he had used LSD, the state ethics commission found on Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2022.
“While disappointed in the Commission’s action, my client looks forward to a swift finding of innocence,” Webster said in a statement. Tony's attorneys have argued that under Pennsylvania law, juveniles are not charged with crimes but “acts of delinquency," so he has no criminal arrests. The shooting was uncovered in 2020 by the Florida Bulldog news website.
The investigation found that in 2003, Tony answered truthfully that he had once used LSD as a teenager when he applied for a job with the Tallahassee Police Department, his first law enforcement application. After that admission caused his rejection, investigators found that on subsequent police applications, Tony answered “no” when asked if he had ever used or handled hallucinogenic drugs.
