Re: Complaint regarding misuse of federal funds and request for
investigation.
Dear Congressman Murphy,
For the past 4 weeks we have been publishing a blog
(irarobins.blogspot.com) and a Facebook site (Archangels of Justice) disclosing
irregularities we have found regarding recent activities within the higher
echelon of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office. In our most recent
postings we disclosed that while reviewing the internal affairs records of the
Miami-Dade Police Department we found evidence of possible criminal wrongdoing
by a former Chief Counsel and a Chief/Commander of MDPD one of whom is an
attorney and now the second in command of the Martin County Sheriff’s
Office.
In fact, we are enclosing a copy of a memorandum dated May 9, 2012
from James K. Loftus, Director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, clearly
stating that that Chief Counsel Glenn Theobald had retired from their
Department but “The recommended action would be termination if still employed
by the Department.” Additionally, we are enclosing a copy of a “To Whom It May
Concern” letter from the MDPD files regarding a complaint that had been filed
about this matter. There is substantial proof that MDPD conducted an
internal affairs investigation into the matter and found that the two
Chiefs/Commanders had committed enough substantial acts that their dismissals
would have been warranted. This entire MDPD investigation apparently revolves
around the misuse/misappropriation of 1.5 million dollars of federal money
earmarked for environmental issues.
The allegations submitted by a whistleblower in the attached
letter claim:
“Chief/Commander Frank Vecin has “spent well over 1.5 million
dollars in the past 5 years for equipment that has nothing to do with
environmental investigations.” and that he “has used the environmental trust
funds for his personal slush fund. Further, Chief Vecin purchased
computers, vehicles, cell phones, rental vehicles and given them to his
departmental friends, and units that have nothing to do with environmental
investigations.” It is suggested that an audit of all purchased items
through the above trust fund be conducted. WE NEED the funding to protect
the citizens of Miami-Dade County from environmental hazards.”
Information we have received clearly shows that MDPD conducted an
internal affairs investigation into these allegations and apparently found
substantial grounds to “sustain” them. In these matters Chief Vecin
worked in concert with former MDPD Chief Counsel Glenn Theobald who is presently
Legal Affairs Director and second in command at the Martin County Sheriff’s
Office. Theobald acts as Sheriff when the elected Sheriff is unavailable.
Since the Miami-Dade Police Department did conduct an internal
investigation into this misuse/misappropriation of federal funds and apparently
found them to be valid did they ever request a federal or state criminal
investigation into this matter and was a criminal investigation into this
matter ever conducted?
If the answer to this question is no, please consider this
document to be our official complaint and a request for an investigation.
Thank
you very much.

QUESTIONS: Isn't about time MCSO Sheriff William Snyder and Glenn Theobald part ways? For the good of the MCSO, shouldn't Sheriff Snyder attempt to save himself? Or is it already too late? STAY TUNED!
