Conditions include giving up his law enforcement standards, meaning he’ll never again serve as a law enforcement officer in the state of Florida, said Assistant State Attorney Amber Rowland, the prosecutor. Judge Goodman withheld adjudication because Schinstine had no prior criminal record. “Basically, a withhold keeps you from being a convicted felon,” Rowland said. Schinstine also must pay for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s investigative costs, more than $5,000, the news release reads. The prosecution dropped a misdemeanor charge of misusing confidential information as a public servant. |
