I'm not sure what the explanation is, but the DUI case against Cullen Coraine has been dismissed.

I know of at least 6 others who was not reappointed. I would perfer not put their names on here as they should not have stones cast at them in public as most were very good at their jobs and probley could have went futher with the right training and leadership

I wounder if Cullen Coraine is looking into civil rights violation for his arrest by the SO when it looked botched from the start.
I would also like to know why the sheriff would get rid of him but keep a deputy who would make a arrest knowing that it was Questionable and should have had a supervisor there at least and should have had FHP work the case so there would be no signs of wrong doing

Well you beat me. I only know of three. And reasons for all three were justifiable to me, but that is just me. If the others are along the same lines, then maybe not such a problem. Who knows.

It really makes no different why they were terminated, according to what Chapman said about the one this thread is about, after reorganization there was no room for him, that sounds as though politics as usual, just maybe not to the scale as the past. So much for giving them a chance to work under a new administration. Its a training thing, if they are not able to cut the mustard they wil work their own way out. Take a look at a progressive discipline policy.

That is really scary. These guys have guns and you feel that there is no good reason that could not have been re-appointed?

I know of at least one Okaloosa County officer that had been arrested and convicted of DUI before he was hired! Seems sorta strange to let someone be a police officer after that, but you can't be be hired by the USPS if you have ever had a DUI! Let's see...you can arrest others for DUI, but you can't deliver the mail! Makes sense to me..Not!

It looks like the new sheriff did not agree:

This deputy and another are now gone.

Florida is an at will work state. That would be thanks to your political party. The statement that someone has a gun is a reason not to fire them is a pretty good reason for turning down the guns at work law.
Just curious, do you enjoy the taste of shoe leather?

When was Florida not an at will work state? I do not recall the Republicans taking control until around the year 2000. I do not ever remember Florida being anything other than an at will work state.
Sorry to admit but you lost me with the rest of your post.

It was proven in a Internal Investigation that Scott hogeboom(arresting deputy) made a false arrest.
Coraine was run out by the new admin and hogeboom was a tool...and expendable tool at that. Be interesting to see if they keep him after making a false arrest. I know alot of Lawyers that want a crack at this civil case. For the record Coraine was never put back to work under ralph....Coraine was on leave pending the I.A. (Internal investigation).
You all sit here and believe everythnig that people tell you, half of what you are all posting is not true. You judge and bash based on non-truthful facts, read his post.....
