And Before you go getting all Gatez happy Just know he is the swamp... acting like a patriot because its his base here, its an act, he only cares about staying in office and more power. He rode to power on Daddies coat tale. His Dad's Local connections got him out of a DUI.
From a news article- {Near midnight, Okaloosa County Deputy Chris Anglin clocked Gaetz going 48 in a 35 mph zone. Anglin later reported that Gaetz fumbled for his license and registration, his eyes were watery and bloodshot, and he swayed and staggered when he got out of the car. Smelling alcohol, Anglin asked Gaetz if he had been drinking. Gaetz replied no. Minutes later, he admitted he had consumed two beers. Twice, Anglin conducted an eye test. Twice, Gaetz’s eyes didn’t follow the prompt.
Gaetz, who had recently begun practicing law, declined any field sobriety tests. He was arrested and refused the breath test.
Weeks after the arrest, Anglin, the officer who arrested Gaetz, reportedly resigned amid several alleged infractions, including that he used excessive force against another DUI suspect soon after Gaetz’s arrest. After Anglin quit, “the prosecutor asked to be taken off the case, because his stepson was friends with Gaetz. Then-Gov. Charlie Crist’s office assigned the case to Steve Meadows, the state attorney for the neighboring circuit,”
according to the
Tampa Bay Times.
Gaetz’s defense attorney, Drew Pinkerton,
filed a motion to dismiss the case that December. According to a report at the time from the
Northwest Florida Daily News, the defense claimed that Gaetz had answered “no” to the officer’s question about whether he had too much to drink — not to whether he had
anything to drink. Gaetz also claimed in an interview with that newspaper that he was not swerving and that the officer had said threatening things to him.}
At that time we had a crooked Sheriff Charlie Morris when he and many members of the department were arrested on stealing money and using prison labor on their private homes. Word on the street is Chris Anglin was forced out on BS charges. They don't call it Crookaloosa for no reason.
