Florida’s top law enforcement agency on Friday said it has started an investigation into Sheriff Gregory Tony. The move comes just days after the agency confirmed it had begun reviewing a complaint about whether Broward’s top cop made misstatements about his past on law enforcement documents.
Tony signed an affidavit in January that asserts that he has never had a criminal record sealed or expunged, and where he pledged all his answers were “true and correct.”
He never revealed to the FDLE, the governor who appointed him, or his prior police job with the Coral Springs Police Department, that he had been cleared of killing a fellow teenager in the 1990s in Philadelphia.
