Hired in 2024, Brevard County named Fultz its Deputy of the Year in 2025. The day of the ceremony Fultz’s ex-girlfriend sent a letter of complaint to the sheriff’s office with a long list of complaints about his behavior. The letter was enough to prompt the sheriffs to investigate Fultz which is when they discovered he’d used Flock to stalk her.
The 43-page investigation found Fultz had posed for pictures as Adolf Hitler, freely used racial slurs in texts, masturbated on camera in his police vehicle, took pictures of his ex-girlfriend with his service weapon in her mouth during sex, repeatedly broke the law to generate clout online for his motorcycle themed Instagram and TikTok accounts, and used Flock to stalk his ex-girlfriend.
One of the sheriff's office’s key findings was that Fultz used Flock to spy on his ex and bragged about it to her. When questioned about using Flock, Fultz told investigators that he remembered the conversation with his ex but “denied checking her vehicle registration to spy on her or out of revenge.” The investigators audited the Flock logs and found that Fultz had, indeed, tracked her movements.
When someone runs a search using Flock, the system requires users to enter a reason. Fultz flagged his search for his ex as a general investigation, and simply entered “investigation” as the reason.
Investigators also found that Fultz accessed Flock while he was off-duty. “Deputy Fultz agreed that he would have entered the registration number prior to leaving for work based on the time, and denied using his agency laptop. Deputy Fultz explained all his flock inquiries were made from his agency-issued cellular telephone,” the investigation said.
Fultz denied he was using Flock to stalk his ex. He claimed to investigators that he may have been showing her how it works, and denied spying on her. The report also states that he said “he had her location on Snapchat, so it wouldn’t have benefitted him to track her on Flock.”
Fultz’s abuse of Flock is just one piece of a much larger investigation into his behavior. In an image provided by his ex, he “had shaved your mustache to resemble Adolf Hitler and [was] demonstrating a Nazi salute,” the investigation said. She also “provided photographic evidence of you holding a firearm to her head and also inserting it into her mouth while having sex.” She said it was consensual, according to the investigation, but “she realized it was a poor idea and inappropriate for a deputy sheriff. The firearm in the images appears to be an agency-issued Walther.”

Thats probably why he got the deputy of the year title in Florida.

I'm shocked there was an actual investigation into police misconduct.

If he sucks up to tRump now he'll either get a pardon or cabinet position.
FullPenguin@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 22h
He won't need a pardon (from DeSantis, not Trump), because he'll never be charged.
He resigned from his position, so now he'll just get deputized by another hick Sheriff.

Came to say this. They let him resign so that there are no barriers to get hired at another department.

Jordon v. The city of New London.
A police cadet sued for discrimination after being rejected for his IQ score. The case went all the way to SCOTUS who ruled that the town did have a legitimate purpose to screen for intelligence. The twist part: his IQ score was too high.
Town of Castlerock v. Gonzales:
The details of this one require a trigger warning, but the short version is that SCOTUS reaffirmed in this case that the police don't have a duty to 1)protect the public, 2)enforce court orders, or 3) uphold the law. See also Dehaney v. Winnebago.
Police are dumb thugs who don't need you and man they expect the same.

Wow! The full MAGA trifecta!

He is deputy of the year because of these things not in spite of them.
Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 5h
He's deputy of the year because everyone else in the department is even worse.

What’s crazy actually is that there is no “in spite of them.” He had no redemption arch. He was just made DoTY. Shows how shallow the title really is. Surely there would have been a better person to promote as DoTY, but the qualifications for the title were so meek that he got it. Weak ass shit.
Sorry to ruin your joke.

No wonder he got floridas deputy of the year award.
Gullible@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 23h
"Deputy of the year" operates under the same premise as a dog show, I assume. The deputy that most accurately exemplifies the standard that police hold themselves to.

How much paid vacation did he get?

I'm not even a little surprised. Many cops are just like this traitor douche. I just wish more folks realized these cops aren't good people and they won't hesitate to turn on any citizen if it benefits them.

Ladies & Gentleman, meet the new Attorney General of Florida.

I was told that in my city there is a shortage of police offices - like 5k person shortage.
Because the applicants can't pass the screening tests... Now if we would implement even stronger screening, that would be interesting for sure.

What they mean by that is they cant hire enough people who would be complicit.
Cause police have fought, all the way to the supreme court, for the right to not hire qualified people.. because qualified people who know the law and have a moral code are a direct threat to every segment of policing in America.

The sad part, absolutely none of that is even mildly shocking
MyOpinion@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 23h
He is a perfect example of a MAGAt. MAGAt of the year in fact.
kreskin@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 7h
come now, surely we can use more passive language here. Someone was involved in some stalking by flock, she had a gun in her mouth, and an incident involving a nazi salute occurred, which is by coincidence under internal investigation by her ex who has been honored as Florida deputy of the year. right?

It’s slowly occurred to me that a bunch of people see the fascism situation as a YOLO opportunity, and that’s all. 😔

It's dividing a lot of us. Either you're an evil person who is looking at taking advantage of it or you're someone who is starting to think a lot more selfishly due to the current dangers that are building.

Why is the title quoting Florida police officer SOP?

Who will stalk the stalkers?

That certainly is a new one... Certainly Improving in new ways to prove the sick bastard out of oneself. Only one problem... Leaving Residue on AMERICAN POLICE PROPERTY. But the rests just a patriotic statement. Proud.

Was it Florida that made an offer to hire corrupt cops who were fired in other states?
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 17h
Did he get the award before or after this.
because I can honestly see police giving him award for stalking, threatening his GF while sieg heiling with how police in America area.
