Governor suspends Florida sheriff amid sex scandal investigation
CLAY COUNTY, Fla. โ A day after Clay County Sheriff Darryl Daniels surrendered to law enforcement to face criminal charges stemming from a sex scandal investigation, Gov. He is prohibited from receiving any pay or allowance and from any privileges of public office during the suspension. While deputies placed Smith in handcuffs, no criminal charges were filed against her. King noted in his letter: โI do not know Sheriff Daniels, his politics, his opponents, nor for that matter any citizen in Clay County. โTypically what will happen on a suspension is that you are entitled to a hearing in the Senate, but before you have that hearing in the Senate, the criminal charges have to be addressed, so those criminal charges will be front and center after Tuesday.โ
