Quote from the article:
The men were undercover deputies driving agency vehicles -- and the scene last month at Evie's Tavern on the Range, a popular bar on Bee Ridge Road, left patrons in shock and Sarasota County's sheriff dismayed. Seven deputies, all members of a countywide anti-drug team, have been suspended without pay for their behavior at the bar on May 27. The Sheriff's Office has not named the deputies, citing their undercover work. But a supervisor has been suspended for six days while others involved received suspensions ranging from three to five days. The case was reported to the Sheriff's Office by a patron, who wrote an anonymous letter to Sheriff Tom Knight that kickstarted the investigation. Each was cited for conduct unbecoming of an officer. |
