Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he will decide soon whether to suspend a major county's sheriff after state investigators found he lied on police applications about killing someone as a teen, his past drug use and his driving record.
DeSantis said he will discuss Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony's future with his aides before deciding what to do next. DeSantis appointed Tony sheriff in January 2019, just days after taking office. He had fired Tony's predecessor, Scott Israel, for his alleged mishandling of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre in February 2018, a decision that was upheld by the Florida Senate.
