Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony hadn’t withheld vital information from law enforcement forms that would have revealed he was involved in a fatal shooting when he was a teenager, his attorney argued to a state ethics commission. The commission found probable cause to pursue an ethics case against the sheriff anyway, for the second time in recent months.
The Florida Ethics Commission has released Philadelphia police case-file documents about Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony's shooting when he was a teen, as well as other issues examined by the panel.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement said some of Broward Sheriff Greg Tony’s falsehoods were too long ago to prosecute, and the most recent allegation that he lied to obtain a new driver license will not be pursued because the clerk’s memory of the incident is fuzzy.
