In the affidavit for Rios arrest warrant, FDLE special agent Philip B. Larkin wrote the board election was contentious and very divisive as there was discussion about the results and the high voter turnout in an election where four candidates ran for two seats.
Rios, who was board president, received 90 votes, and vice president Joseph Shady received 70, Larkin wrote.
Newcomers Tom Hansen and Charles Faruki received 68 and 65 votes, respectively, Larkin wrote.
In total, 144 ballots were received out of 148 units for a 97% participation rate, Joseph Fleming, a Belize condo resident, wrote in a complaint filed with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation s Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes one month after the election.
