Written by In 1991, Sheriff Fred Peel was involved in an incident where he allegedly attempted to intimidate a complainant, Mr. Hinson, into leaving the Sheriff’s office without receiving requested documents. The confrontation escalated when Mr. Hinson sought to file a complaint against Sheriff Peel himself. The case was reviewed, and it was concluded that while Sheriff Peel’s actions demonstrated a loss of patience and poor judgment, they did not constitute a violation of Section 112.313(6), Florida Statutes. No disciplinary action was taken against Sheriff Peel as a result of this incident.
