A second public official, the mayor of Pembroke Park, has accused Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony of threatening him with physical harm.
“I’m not sure when it became acceptable for a sheriff to threaten elected officials, but that’s exactly what’s happening,” Mayor Geoffrey Jacobs told Florida Bulldog in an interview Sunday. “Sheriff Tony is now threatening me personally. This is not right, and it raises serious questions about abuse of power.”
In early August, at a video-taped police roll call, Tony asked deputies if he should “destroy” Deerfield Beach City Manager Rodney Brimlow – a former BSO captain – amid faltering negotiations about whether the city should renew its multi-million-dollar police and fire contracts with the Broward Sheriff’s Office.
