Ken Mascara – St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Former Sheriff Ken Mascara resigned in December 2023 amid a ‘ghost candidate’ scandal. He admitted to ethics violations for promoting a candidate during the 2020 election, leading to a public censure and a $5,000 fine. Additionally, a lawsuit alleges that in October 2022, covert surveillance devices were discovered in the office of Commander James Wills, suspected to have been used to intercept private conversations related to an FDLE investigation into Mascara’s actions. Wills claims he faced retaliation after reporting the incident, including reassignment and a ‘no rehire’ recommendation in his personnel file.
