In August 2023, Deputy Andrew Bergkvist was accused of sexual battery and false imprisonment during a traffic stop in Longwood. The allegations stated that Bergkvist inappropriately touched an individual after concluding the stop and turning off his body-worn and in-car cameras. He was placed on administrative leave on August 15, arrested on August 16, and released on bond the following day. On August 21, Bergkvist was terminated from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. In December 2023, the charges were dropped due to a lack of physical evidence and exculpatory information suggesting the pat-down search was consensual and warranted.
