The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) is recommending that a judge suspend Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony’s law enforcement certification.
FDLE Assistant General Counsel Andrew Digby said Tony violated public trust by lying eight times about his driver’s license being suspended in Pennsylvania in the 1990s.
Digby asked Judge Robert Kilbride to punish Tony’s “moral turpitude” with a six-month suspension.
The license issue is one of two FDLE cases concerning Tony, whom Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed in 2019. Another involves his killing, at 14, of a Pennsylvania man that Tony similarly omitted while applying for a police job in Coral Springs.
