So while I am waiting on public records (AGAIN), I am also preoccupied by the imminent birth of my first grandchild. She is going to be here any day. I have a granddaughter by marriage that I love so much. She’s going to be 7 on Thursday and may be sharing a birthday with her

Ladies and gentlemen, gather around because we need to have a little chat about our resident elephant named Whitney and the circus she’s created for shits and giggles.! Dear Queen Whitney, I feel like it’s my divine duty to send you an honest message about the destruction of the ECSO your hubris brings. Sarcasm aside,

One of the public records requests I was waiting on was from Escambia County (myEscambia.com). Because the county loves to play games with PRR’s, I requested the bare minimum and ended up making a second request that I have not received yet . The one I received was the disclosure of Whitney Cross Lucas’s starting
-
I know it’s been a minute since my last post. I have broken this post into 2 possibly 3 parts. The reason is there is a lot that has transpired on the periphery and also I’ve been waiting on public records requests. I’ve also gotten a couple that didn’t illuminate much, like the Chitney door
-
I have to give props to the hubby. His post last week was awesomely received. I didn’t feel confident enough to make some of the assertions that needed to be made. That was most definitely not my wheelhouse. Strangely, it apparently isn’t Chip’s either… This week is good one. I did a public records request

Being a part of ending David Morgan’s political career was amazing. The reverberation of corruption that man inflicted into community where I grew up is still being felt. Surprisingly, to me any way, I fell for the hype of Chip Simmons. Maybe he could save the ECSO. Because I talked to him a bit over
-
I started this blog to tell the stories of people victimized by corruption. My focus is, obviously, Patrick Gonzalez and his travesty of a case, but working hand in hand with that case, is the ongoing corruption that facilitated that case. I have been contacted by so many people associated with the Escambia County Sheriff’s
-
Laura Carroll and Emily Grover have filed civil suits against the Escambia County School District, FDLE, Chip Simmons in his official capacity, Gary Marsh, Brian Johnson, and Stephanie Cassidy in their respective capacities. Honestly, there is less ill will and imagination in these suits as there was in the criminal cases against these ladies. It

It has been a long time since I posted on this blog. The reason for that is complex, but the abridged explanation can be summed up as simple burnout. Whenever people come to me with their stories, most assuredly, I research the facts to authenticate accounts. But I, also, end up, unwittingly, being emotionally invested
-
Recently, John Molchan talked about his career in the PNJ. In all his pridefulness, he neglects to talk about the fact he is instrumental in the biggest fraud on the Pensacola justice community; the prosecution of innocent people in the Billings murder case. Molchan likes to be in front of the cameras, like Sheriff Morgan,
-
On January 9th, Scott Haines reported to Maxwell AFB Federal Prison Camp. It appears this is minimum security camp rather than prison. I still find it less than acceptable that this is all he gets. How ridiculous! Terrorizing a family; stealing; conspiring; exploiting and he gets camp for a year. Previously, I have voiced my
-
This is a hard truth that I hoped would not be so but the State Attorney’s Office is still operating questionably. I got a tip about a case that that was handled inappropriately. The case involves a grandfather of either a former or current Santa Rosa Sheriff’s deputy. It doesn’t appear he actually is a
-
On Monday, November 21st, Scott Haines was sentenced in federal court. He took a plea and pled guilty to lying to FBI in an elder exploitation investigation. This is the DOJ press release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, November 22, 2022 Former Santa Rosa County Deputy Sheriff Sentenced To Federal Prison PENSACOLA, FLORIDA – Scott P. Haines,
-
This story is consistent with most cases I have researched. There is this dichotomy of cases the state attorney’s office prosecutes that are factually anemic and the cases that office refuses to prosecute regardless of abundant proof of countless crimes. Victims are created in both types of cases. What do you do when you are
-
I am sure you heard about the Homecoming Scandal that happened in Pensacola last year. As I understood from the news stories I read, this case was akin to the Cheerleader murder from Texas. You know, an overzealous mother who murdered her daughter’s competition, thus securing her daughter’s place as a cheerleader. Minus the murder,
-
This week Scott Haines went to state & federal courts to enter a plea bargain. This was an impromptu hearing without much advance notice. I spoke with an expert in law enforcement prior to the first hearing in state court Tuesday. He advised me that the optics of Haines going into state court first and
-
I am pausing the Santa Rosa County Scandal series. There is a vast amount of info I have gained that I am not able to share. This case is crucial for so many people. It can potentially kick over the rock of corruption in the Panhandle. That is my main goal with this blog. I
-
*I apologize for the time it took to publish this post. In an effort to make sure I represent all the facts of the case as accurately as possible, I have been laboring over the best way to tell this story. This case is integral to exposing the corruption throughout the panhandle. Please bear with

**Addition to Part 4- Eric Haines. There are sources that confirm Eric & Scott (and all the families, including mom and dad with Eric’s daughter as well) were on a cruise the first week of March 2020. The cruise left out of New Orleans, with the ports of call included Cozumel, Mexico, Roatan, Bay Islands,
-
There has been speculation that Eric has been a part of Scott’s circle of cadres, but both of them claimed to have nothing to do with the other. I have suspected it was a smoke screen but without proof, it was just a theory. Well now there is definitive proof. I requested a Master Name
-
**To correct a couple of points: 1, Scott Haines was never named trustee. Ms. Dot was and still is the trustee based on her deposition and her attorney Brian Hoffman’s court filings. 2. Ms. Dot grossed almost 2 million dollars in rental proceeds in 2005, when she was healthy. The rental proceeds continually diminished as

Most people know Scott Haines was arrested by federal marshals. He was eventually turned over to FDLE. Other than the following press release, I haven’t gotten a straight answer on so many things regarding this arrest and Scott’s subsequent release. Here is the Justice Dept’s press release: Strangely, he was released later that night from
-
In this post, I’m going to minimize my commentary. I want to put SRSO & Scott Haines’s lies on display. Also, some of the excerpts in here are part of writ of mandamus filed by Marie Mattox’s firm on behalf of Matt Groelinger. This writ was filed in response to the games the public records

I have procrastinated in making this particular post for some very personal reasons. On Nov. 20, 1992, Joanna Otto was seen for the last time by her friends. I didn’t know Joanna, but I had seen her in the halls of Woodham High. We were both in the same grade & had mutual friends. Her

In 2013, I started blogging because I felt I had a civic duty to start a conversation about the stories & issues not being discussed in the media. No one was acknowledging the shameless abuses of power. Today, I still have that same fire and passion. I absolutely believe that people have an aversion to
-
I wanted to apologize for the sparse posts. I have been overwhelmed with information that just keeps on coming. That’s a good thing. I just have to get the info out. Bear with me. I started blogging to expose the corruption in NW Florida. Honestly, I didn’t think it would be so pervasive or cancerous
-
I have been blogging about the organized fleecing of Dorothy Rogers for years. Scott Haines is at the helm but others allowed him to stay employed–namely Sheriff Bob Johnson. To say that Haines is anything less than a sexually deviant cancer within the SRSO, would understate the situation. I recently requested all the IA’s for
-
This is a report done on October 28, 2020, shortly after midnight. Scott Haines attempted to force his way into a co-worker’s door. Other co-workers weigh in. Unsurprisingly, this does not trigger an IA investigation in Santa Rosa.
-
Former Sheriff Morgan paid $75k on 2 bronze statutes to put in front of the ECSO. He used money that should have been used on resources internally like upgrading equipment, investigations and training. I don’t know how many times over the years I have said this jackass routinely misuses funds he is in charge of.
-
Supervisor of Elections: Mr. Stafford, It is with regret that I must inform you, friends, and political supporters of my decision to withdraw from the 2022 Mayoral Race. Family medical issues, which I had prayed would resolve by years end will not. Those with political experience know that campaigns are high energy and intensive affairs,
-
So after being alerted about the following blip on Rick’s Blog: This is highly disturbing to me. I have spent almost 10 years devoting every bit of energy, looking for the truth in this case. While I’ve had small breakthroughs and victories over the years, in the last few months have seen real game changing

On June 21st, the PNJ ran an article about a foundation, The Escambia County Sheriff Foundation. This foundation’s mission is, as follows: “The Escambia County Sheriff Foundation, Inc. is a public 501 (c) (3) organization formed to support the mission and employees of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. We will work to further and foster

Dear Mr. Molchan, I am writing this to obtain clarity after your pronouncement that Rakeem Florence’s recantation was moot due to the fact there was overwhelming evidence and his testimony being corroborated by the surveillance video. I take exception to both statements, specifically in the Patrick Gonzalez Jr. case. I want to first remind you
-
So I got this today.
-
The FBI raided Scott Haines’s house. They are talking to EVERYONE who lives close or works near him. This is a victory a long time coming. In a group effort to expose the abuse of power and corruption, finally there has been progress to clean it all up! This is a direct result of a

Recently I had a conversation with a deputy I frequently talk with. We discussed a few different things like Sheriff Chip Simmons, morale of the agency and employees that are still shining bad light on the ECSO. It was an honest conversation about the overall aura of the agency. Here is how the conversation went: JS:
-
Channel 3 reported that David Morgan pre-filed for Pensacola Mayor. Grover Robinson announced he wasn’t running again a little over 10 days ago. So this comes as no surprise. I predict the consolidation of services talk will escalate. I think the system is rigged. If this plays out as I predict, there will be no

Bad decisions have a tendency to boomerang back around. According to sources inside the ECSO, a deputy who was Baker Acted twice and who happened to keep her standards was involved in the standoff last week. Pam Veltkamp, a friend of Mindy Von Ansbach Young, created a standoff and shot at a business owner 14
-
EDITORIAL: I want to acknowledge the handling of a serious matter, a little less than 2 weeks ago. My son, who lives in Pensacola, was missing and possibly endangered. I was apprehensive about involving ECSO due to my history with the leadership. However, Chip Simmons, Investigator Lee and Sgt Calogero were fantastic. My son is
-
So I received a tip that Morgan was in a snit that the FBI honored the ECSO deputies who were involved in the NAS shooting. Now let’s put this in perspective. Morgan refused to recognize Mike Hoyland as THE one that shot the terrorist. He was the only one running towards the shooter, who didn’t
-
As for the Legacy of Morgan, I’m nixing the series. I came up with a whole list of legacy titles and all the documentations, such as: The Arbitrary Sheriff; applying the law to people arbitrarily The Murderer Sheriff; being legally responsible for the deaths of Kayla Crocker, Naomi Jones, Lenny Gonzalez, Pam Long Wiggins, Robert
-
Instead of posting another post on Morgan’s Legacy, I have to take time to honor an amazing woman’s life. Ms. Kathy Ball was a phenom. She lived 97 years and wore many hats but the most intriguing thing is she worked with her husband for the CIA. Her husband H. Kenneth Ball, spent 40+ years
-
Now before I continue I am going to say I spoke to someone in the “inner circle” of the command staff. This person wanted to clarify things, off the record. I have to say it is unsettling how little respect this person has for my intelligence as well every single one of the people who
-
I have said this before: I have nothing against Chip. He has been mostly transparent with me over the years. He’s a good guy on a personal level. He’s a good law enforcement officer. He is said to be a good leader. I posted on Whitney after YEARS of prodding by people, only because of

As I said last week I had 2 fairly innocuous requests that I’m going to post for your perusal. The third are the travel packets for Chitney. And of course, the Tommy Lyter travel packets that were so thoughtfully included without me asking, I am still reviewing and will be getting posted shortly. Some surprising
