FLORIDA CORRECTIONAL OFFICER KLAN MEMBERS CONVICTED IN PLOT

by Bob Walsh

Two former Florida State Correctional Officers, who are also members of the KKK, have been convicted in a plot to kill a black inmate who attacked anther Klan member officer.

David Elliot Moran, 49, and Charles Thomas Newcomb, 45, were both found guilty of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder in Columbia County. The plot started up when Officer Thomas Jordan Driver, 27, was bitten during a fight with the inmate in question. The inmate was believed to be infected with HIV and hepatitis. The inmate had been released and the murder was suppose to take place on the street.

Driver has already copped a plea and got four years.

The three men were arrested in 2015 after a joint local, state and federal investigation. Newcomb had already been fired for a training failure unrelated to the plot.
