Dr. Gregory Tony, Broward County Sheriff
In February of this year a triple murder occurred in
Broward County. The Broward County, Florida, Sheriff's Department has
just concluded their internal investigation of the incident in which
Nathan Gingles is believed to have shot and killed his estranged wife,
Mary, her dad, David Ponzer and a neighbor, Andrew Ferrin back in
February.
The Sheriff's
Office was concerned with two major issues, the immediate response to
the shots fired incident and the investigation into the incident
after-the-fact.
Essentially
the officers and a sergeant got together at a rally point but did not
bother to actually respond to the incident until it was all over. The
new sheriff, Dr. Gregory Tony, got his gig after the old sheriff was handed
his ass after the Parkland School shooting debacle.
In
addition to the actions listed Friday the sheriff had previously
demoted, then fired, Jeremiah Cooper, the Captain of the Tamarac
district and an unnamed probationary employee.
None of the deputies that responded to the call turned on their body cams.
Two additional deputies, Joseph Sasso and Michael Paparelia, were investigated but no action was taken against them.
While
the deputies were hanging out at the rally point the shooter was busy
pursuing his wife into a neighbors house where she was attempting to
hide. The husband shot and killed his wife and the neighbor who was
trying to help her.
Several other deputies were disciplined for doing a crappy job on the investigation.
