Guest Guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 "Federal prosecutors have issued an arrest warrant for Okaloosa County Sheriff Charlie Morris. According to the warrant, Morris stole money meant for federal programs. He's also charged with wire fraud and several other offenses. Florida Governor Charlie Crist issued an executive order immediately suspending Morris from office calling it "in the best interest of the residents of Okaloosa County, and the citizens of the State Of Florida." Crist also named Edward Spooner as the interim sheriff. Morris has been the Sheriff in Okalosa County since 1996."

Guest Guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 People in Carteret County are reacting to the news that their former sheriff is facing federal charges. The U.S. Attorneys Office in Raleigh confirms that retired Carteret County Sheriff Ralph Thomas has been charged with conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States. A spokeswoman tells WITN News that during his time as sheriff, Thomas was involved with the theft of federal funds. A former deputy, Christopher Cozart, was also named in a separate Bill of Information. The feds say Cozart was a detective in the county's drug unit. According to court documents obtained by WITN, Thomas, Cozart and others are accused of stealing in excess of $5,000 in federal money. The documents say on multiple occasions between 1997 and 2006, deputies under Thomas' supervision, withdrew funds designated for covert drug investigations. The feds say Thomas kept a portion of the cash for his own personal use. The document says other individuals likewise received misappropriated funds for personal use. No other people were named in the Bill of Information which was dated Monday. Carteret County Chief Deputy Ken Raper says no current members of the sheriff's department were involved in the alleged scheme. John Wetherington, a neighbor of the former sheriff, told WITN, "It's kind of unbelievable. I mean, he is such a good guy. I wouldn't ever think anything like that." Thomas was first elected in 1986 and retired as sheriff at the end of 2006. Personnel records show that Cozart was a deputy from January 2000 to July 2007.

Guest Guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 There's a world of difference between misappropriating funds and stealing them. We're clearly talking about a gray area here. We're also talking about $5k. I mean, come on folks, it's not like he went out and bought himself a sports car. He bought some folding chairs for his employees and made a poor choice for where the funds came from. What a horrible guy, right? Oh my god! The horrors! I'm only suggesting we keep things in perspective. Heads don't have to roll every time a mistake happens. He gets a pension of over $50000.00 a year, over $80K in salary and he can't afford $5K for gifts? And not just gifts to fellow officers but to kitchen workers and nurses. WITH HIS NAME ON THEM, surely sounds like campaigning to me! This is unethical and misuse of funds by someone that knows better. He says he "might have made a mistake" won't even admit it. He was trying to give everyone he knows a chair with his name on it to get votes. Why don't people care about prosecution when an elected official gets caught? And he's only in the news because he was caught, not that he was confessing to it. Fiala spends her own money when she buys Christmas gifts not county funds. People get fired for ethics violations. It's not just the gifts, this was campaigning. Might as well have been bumper stickers or T-shirts saying re-elect Harder. And for those attacking Fiala for approving the purchase and not catching it earlier... does that mean that any county office can submit bills for anything they want, pizza, a keg of beer, a massage, their dry-cleaning, etc and if it doesn't get caught and a check is signed, then all the blame is on Fiala? I say they are responsible for submitting expenses for legitimate, authorized, ethical, valid items. And a sheriff with 40 years experiance should know better.

Guest Guest-OnlyInBroome-* Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Check out this link to read the explanation of what happened. http://www.pressconnects.com/article/20100...der-s-intention "The purchasing department was told by the sheriff that the chairs would be used "for staff" not as "presents for staff." No government funds, asset forfeiture funds or otherwise, may be used for personal gifts. Neither the purchase request nor the payment was ever brought to the attention of the county executive's office at the time this transaction occurred. It was only when the sheriff's office completed a mandatory annual report detailing the expenditures in this account, in February of this year, did it come to the attention of the executive's office." Read the full report at the link above. The budget director, county atty and Fiala were just doing their job, watching where the money is spent.

Guest Guest Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 1. The employees were required to sign for the "gifts". Not all employees signed for them because they knew they were gifts! An employee can not refuse to sugn for equipment! 2. Pure coincidence that he did'nt hand out gifts last year, as he did for the last 10 years, but instead he decided to hand out equipment! 3. the employees who refused the gifts we smart! they do not have stolen property!

You truly are an IDIOT. Keep making stuff up, moron. Not only are all of your comments stupid, nonsense baseless, and completely incorrect, but your lack of spelling knowledge in every one makes it obvious that they're all typed by you! It's "n't", retard (isN'T, didN'T, wasN'T...etc.). If you can't get the story straight, at least spell your lies correctly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha......Oh my gosh, my stomach is killing from that one ha ha ha. The BC district attorney is nothing but a waste of oxygen with every breath he takes. I am not disagreeing that an investigation be done, it just needs to be done by someone who is competent. Perhaps the state attorney general's office..
