Walton HR Director Arrested

Exactly.
That was several years back. If I were Ella Mae, I'd make sure my attorney raise that issue.

Again, Selective Enforcement. It's synonymous with Mike Adkinson.

It will not make any difference what someone else. Did. It only matters what she did. Two wrongs do not make a right. Stealing is stealing.

Agreed! Big thief, little thief, ALL THIEVES! All is wrong! What's not right is little thief paying the consequences for their poor choices and BIG thief not!!!
Little thief was read her rights, BIG thief was REREAD the rules for probably the 546th time while being in office!!! What a fine, upstanding example of quality leadership we have here in WC. That'll make you proud to call it home! By the way, do you still live in Crestview?

It will not make any difference what someone else. Did. It only matters what she did. Two wrongs do not make a right. Stealing is stealing.

A thief by any other name is still a thief. Some folks get away with their thievery while others dance to jail house tunes. That, I do have a problem with!

I understand that Larry Jones wanted to handle this in house but was afraid I already knew about it and would let it out. Seems they realize there are now more leaks than they can plug in the dike. The answer is yes I did know.

My source told me Jody who also works in HR got blamed for this at first because the addition on the dependent was done on Jody’s computer. She could prove that she was not there when her computer was logged in and it was found Ella May logged into Jody’s computer and added her friend as a dependent. If this is true and Ella May did this and also tried to put the blame on someone else in the office is just shame. If Larry and Sidney truly went to a commissioner and discussed not calling in the sheriff that is a thousand times worse than what Ella May did. The commissioner said no as they were afraid I already knew and would blow the whistle.

You can not make this crazy sh**t up. When they have the chance to do right or wrong they pick wrong every time. YOU JUST CAN NOT MAKE THIS UP.

STAND UP FOR OUR GOOD EMPLOYEES.

Recent arrests for insurance fraud, updated daily

Ella Mae Walters, arrested 11/18/2017 for Medical - false claims in Walton County, FL

The link above may seem like week old news and Ella Mae Walters arrest is week old news BUT that link is a NATIONAL registry of folks arrested or convicted of insurance fraud.

So Walton Counties claim to fame is that we made it into the big league of crimes and are now on a NATIONAL registry for insurance fraud. We should be so proud.

That's bad enough...but we also hire convicted felons because we don't do background checks on prospective employees. Let that sink in a minute...

Now imagine a road crew working in front of your house (with the convicted felon on the crew) who is checking out your house and keeping track of your comings and goings. One night you come home after a long day at work only to find you've been ROBBED.

Prior to the Sheriff taking over WCFR they didn't even do Level 2 background checks on firefighters or EMT'S. Your child, elderly parent or yourself are suddenly taken ill and you need an ambulance and the convicted felon shows up and you let him in your house. While you or your loved one is hospitalized your home is broken into by the convicted felon who you let in the door trusting that they were there to help....not to help themselves to everything you have worked for all your life.

I often hear people complain that the Sheriff has to many irons in the fire...from WCFR, the jail, a current movement to take over Child Protective Services (not a bad thing) but the irony is, the current BCC can't be bothered to even do minimal background checks on new hires! I'll take the Sheriff!

Just for informational purposes;
A Level 2 background check in Florida will pull up any offense, whether in Florida or elsewhere in the United States. A Level 2 FBI Background Check is provided for in Section 435.04 of the Florida Statutes. If you have ever been arrested for any of the crimes below in Florida or anywhere in the U.S., you may have issues getting your license or being employed, even if later the case was expunged.

(a) Section 393.135, relating to sexual misconduct with certain developmentally disabled clients and reporting of such sexual misconduct.

(b) Section(NNN) NNN-NNNN relating to sexual misconduct with certain mental health patients and reporting of such sexual misconduct.

(c) Section 415.111, relating to adult abuse, neglect, or exploitation of aged persons or disabled adults.

I learned today that the cases on Asphalt Walters and Ella Mae Walters the HR Director have been turned over to the State Attorney's office.

All for show in my opinion. Remember Scott got the States Attorney to go after me for not really being a Florida resident and for committing voter fruad by voting in Florida and Alabama. This was all for Scott Brannon and his gang in Blue. Well I never voted in 2 states and idiot would know when you move and register to vote in a different state that state notifies the previous state and they stop your voting right in the original state.

The state attorney also investigated how many days I spend in Florida. That was easy I guess Scott did not realize I punch a time clock every day at my job on the advice of my CPA and my attorney Matt Gaetz. I could prove I lived here 85 percent of the year.

The state attorney did a detailed investigation and then issued a press release I was a Florida resident. Gee I could have saved them a lot of time had they talked to me before the day they were going to issue the press release.

So many real important things to be investigated they wasted All their time on me. Go figure.

Nice Letter

I said it on another thread but it bears repeating here. Commishes should follow WCSO lead when they fired deputy and have admin sever ties with hr director now. That Eela Walters set up the lady in her dept is enough to determine her lack of good character irregardless of an in house investigation or state attorney fraud investigation. Keeping her on in any way guarantees a lawsuit win for the set up lady if she remains under supervision of Walters and decides to sue. She even could sue if the BCC tried to reassign her to report to someone else but keep walters on as a good little soldier. Read up on what constitutes a hostile work environment. EWalters kept on means every decision or recommendation she makes can easily and rightfully be called into question. Continuing to keep her on and pay her senior benefits for retirement and a ridiculous salary for what she's contributed - scandal and dishonesty and thievery- the BCC would set itself up for challenges on every employee decision they make. Expensive waste of time. Expensive for taxpayers. Walton employees deserve fairness ALL the way around with rules and policies that apply to all without input by big bird larry and stand low stan. This chick is a compromised and unethical sneak! Taxpayers should demand her immediate termination so more money isn't flushed away in paying her wages, benefits. And don't slide in another incompetent. Anyone responsible for a large budget should have a whistle clean financial background and not be buried in debt by gaming the student loan program. Admin has to many shaky dealings with Deepwater Horizon funds, state retirement system tricks, antidiscrimination laws about gender, race and age, not doing background checks and more. LJones and SSuckday the big fishes in this little pond need to be closely watched not only for past wrongdoings like hiring this hr director to begin with but for their soft and rotten underbellies that bring a stench to Walton as they try to achieve their personal agendas. Its from these two and their fast and loose games that the stench emanates. Go deeper people who care. Forget the commishes they can be elected out and it seems some might be. There are some fine people ready to represent you.

I waited to respond to this because I was waiting on information I had heard but had not been able to confirm because the county drug their heels for 3 weeks getting me information on a public info request.

Ella Mae Walters and Brian Walters (no relation according to the Sheriff) have both been terminated.

Brian Walters termination date was effective Jan. 4, 2018 and still waiting on the termination letter for Ella Mae Walters but I assume they would be the same.

The cases are now in the hands of the State attorney and according to an article in the Defuniak paper today both Walters have made first appearances and have pled NOT guilty. An arrest warrant has also been issued for Christopher Byrd who was the recipient of Ella Mae Walters generous but fraudulent insurance claim.

Admin has to many shaky dealings with Deepwater Horizon funds, state retirement system tricks, anti discrimination laws about gender, race and age, not doing background checks and more.

I was told about the connection to BP Oil money just today and I have someone I'm going to get to look into that. If my understanding is correct Ella Mae was Vice president on an Indian Tribe Board out of Bruce. I've been told the tribe stands to benefit to the tune $700,000 in BP oil money and that since her arrest all the board members names have been removed including hers. The "allegations" I'm hearing is that she stands to benefit directly from those funds which as a county employee it may be illegal to do. I'm semi confident that the Horizon Board that has been put in place to oversee those funds will do a through job of weeding out those who applied and which do not serve a public purpose.

I am impressed again thanks for going deeper

UPDATE:

The State Attorney's office has deferred prosecution on Ella Mae Walters even though she filed 3 BOGUS claims on her dental insurance policy for someone she had listed on her insurance policy who was NOT legally a dependent, false and fraudulent insurance claims and falsifying records! Ms. Walters has to meet certain conditions over a 12 month period. Ms. Walters was the Human Resource Director for Walton County until she was fired in Dec. 2017

That's one way to ensure she doesn't sing like a canary.

Not everything is a conspiracy. Maybe in your mind everything has to be a conspiracy or you wouldn't get to talk much.

I never indicated a conspiracy but I also never indicated I thought she would ever be prosecuted. I expected this outcome so, I'm certainly not disappointed.

Did they give a reason for not prosecuting her?

Did they give a reason for not prosecuting her?

The article says Bill Eddins signed an agreement not to prosecute Ella Mae Walters on insurance fraud charges based on Walters meeting a list of conditions over a 12 month period.

The conditions were as follows:

The defendant having no violations during the 12 months following the date of the agreement.

The defendant waving her right to speedy trial.

The defendant agreeing to pay $875.00 in fines plus prosecution.

25 hours of Community Service or making a payment at statutory rate in lieu of that service and her agreement to testify if so called upon consistent with "any proffers given".
