• 2nd Seminole deputy arrested in falsified overtime investigation, sheriff says (orlandosentinel.com) — Sanford readers should know that a second Seminole County deputy has been arrested in an overtime fraud investigation connected to work in nearby Lake Mary, shortly after a Sanford police investigator was charged in a separate timesheet case. Both probes center on allegedly bogus extra-duty or overtime hours that cost local taxpayers thousands and have already led to suspensions and a firing.
