Has your Sumter County Administrative Services Administrative Head Leslie Smith 352-689-4400 been magically and mysteriously added the list of public officials who have "lawyered up"? Did Smith "lawyer up"after our extensive conversation on 07-23-19? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know, don't they? Why oh why was Columbia County Manager Ben Scott 386-758-1005 able to open a line of communication with his errant Columbia County Sheriff/Florida Sheriffs Association President Mark Hunter and your Administrative Head Smith can't/won't open a line of communication with your errant Florida Sheriffs Association Chaplin/Florida Model Jail Standards Committee Chairman/Sumter County Sheriff Bill Farmer? Hmm? Inquiring minds really want to know, don't they?

Why oh why don't you want to do your advertised job and investigate your Bill Farmer, Sumter County Sheriff, Chairman, Florida Model Jail Standards Committee, Florida Sheriffs Association Ex-Officio Officer - Chaplain (352) 569-1600 for siccing your attack dog Sumter County Sheriff's Inspector/Florida Model Jail Standards Committee Accreditation Inspector James Aguiar, Jr. CJM, CAP after me? Why oh why don't you want to do your advertised job and investigate to see if your Sheriff Farmer ordered your attack dog Aguiar to make a harassing phone call to me on 06-07-19? (Aguiar was supposed to disobey that unlawful order, wasn't he?) Why oh why don't you want to do your advertised job and investigate to see if your Sheriff Farmer's motivation for the harassing phone call was it in retaliation for providing Farmer with clear, precise and unquestionable evidence that confidential attorney/client phone conversations for Osceola County prisoner Sandra Grazzini-Rucki were illegally released to the Lakeville Police Department in Minnesota? Why oh why don't you want to do your advertised job and investigate to see if your Sheriff Farmer's motivation for the harassing phone call was it in retaliation for providing Farmer with clear, precise and unquestionable evidence that Osceola County Sheriff Russell H. Gibson, Putnam County Sheriff Homer "Gator" DeLoach, III, and Osceola County Corrections Department Chief Bryan Holt all submitted fraudulent bills for readily available, free, electronic, public data? Did you report any of this misconduct to the proper authorities or not? Why oh why wasn't I contacted by your attack dog Aguiar's supervisor as per Sumter County personnel on 06-14-19? Inquiring minds still want to know, don't they?

Hey how would you like a copy of my recorded 07-23-19 conversation with your Sumter County Administrative Services Administrative Head Leslie Smith 352-689-4400? I've attached my email correspondence with Smith, haven't I? Don't you want to do a front page story on a cover-up that involves Sumter County Sheriff, Chairman, Florida Model Jail Standards Committee, Florida Sheriffs Association Ex-Officio Officer - Chaplain Bill Farmer, Osceola County Sheriff Russell H. Gibson, Putnam County Sheriff Homer "Gator" DeLoach, III, and Osceola County Corrections Department Chief Bryan Holt? Why don't you want to do a front page story on how I'm being retaliated against for daring to submit Open Records requests for data related to the high-profile Haleigh Cummings' case and the high-profile Sandra Grazzini-Rucki case? You were previously provided with snippets of the harassing phone calls and the fraudulent bills that I've received from a variety of Florida law enforcement agencies, weren't you?

P.S. Isn't it true that Sumter County Times is a cheerleader and a stenographer for corrupt local government officials?
P.S.S. Isn't it also true that Sumter County Times is the fourth pillar of a corrupt Sumter county?

Florida Model Jail Standards What is FMJS? Florida Model Jail Standards The Florida Model Jail Standards are minimum standards which jails across Florida must meet to ensure the constitutional rights of those incarcerated are upheld. Prior to 1996, the Florida Department of Corrections was responsible for the standards and inspection process for local county jails. Legislation was passed in 1996 that gave the authority of inspections to the local level. This change required the Florida Sheriffs Association and Florida Association of Counties to appoint individuals to serve on a Committee that would govern standards that local jails must comply with. The Florida Model Jail Standards Committee has three representatives appointed by the Florida Sheriffs Association and two appointed by the Florida Association of Counties. Florida Sheriffs Association provides support to the FMJS Committee; however the FMJS Committee is a separate entity. Committee members serve two-year terms and elect a chair. The goal of the FMJS Committee is to develop and continually enforce model standards adopted by the group. There are six subcommittees each having distinct missions and objectives: Isaiah Dennard Jail Services Coordinator Isaiah Dennard
