31. For a retired next to nothing, his daddy seems to have a wide sphere of influence

Daddy lives in Lake Mary FL, but has influence not only over the cops in Sanford FL (which is part of the same county as Lake Mary but is a separate city with a separate police force) but also over cops in a completely different county (Orange County, the county in which his idiot son got arrested for punching a cop and had domestic violence charges against him). For a guywho made less than $50K as a lowly magistrate in another state several years earlier, and whose name is virtually invisible on the Internet outside of references relating to this case, the guy is Superman.

Seriously, something is rotten with the Sanford police department, but I doubt it has squat to do with Georgie's daddy.

Magistrates aren't called "judges" in Virginia onenote Mar 2012 #27
Do the cops in Florida know that? WolverineDG Mar 2012 #29
