Florida Deputy Fired for Stalking Ex with Flock, Nazi Salutes

A Brevard County deputy sheriff, Michael Fultz, resigned following an investigation into severe misconduct, including racism and abuse.

The investigation also uncovered evidence of Fultz posing in Nazi salutes, using racial slurs, and engaging in inappropriate conduct with his service weapon. AI
