Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony’s ethics hearing, a case that could mean a recommendation to the governor to remove him from office, has been postponed.
In court documents filed Wednesday, Melody Hadley, the attorney for the Florida Commission on Ethics, agreed with Tony’s defense lawyer that another pending case, one being prosecuted by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, should happen first. That case is anticipated to happen in September, according to the court filing.
June McKinney, the administrative law judge, then signed an order Wednesday granting the extension and postponing next Monday’s hearing.
