State drops case against Ormond man after feds indict him on charge of threatening Trump
After a federal grand jury indicted an Ormond Beach man on a charge of threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump, the state dropped its criminal case. Sheldon Biddle, 25, had been accused in state court of posting on his X social-media account that Trump should "shut up before you end up like Kennedy" as well as threats against others. The State Attorney's Office on June 9 formally dropped the state felony charge as U.S. Attorney Gregory Kehoe pursues the federal case against Biddle in the Middle District of Florida. In late March and early April, Biddle posted a string of invectives against Trump, Elon Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Dan Bongino, the FBI deputy director. Among the threats: "Trump is gonna get assassinated for being a treasonous traitor," and "so if I say someone should kill @elonmusk & @realdonaldtrump for betraying Americans & enforcing tyranny I'm the bad guy?" His X feed, which was active before Ormond Beach police rearrested him on June 5, includes antisemitic, pro-Hitler, and racist content. Biddle was booked in the Volusia County Jail on April 11 and released on $10,000 bail. Ormond Beach rearrested Biddle on June 5 after the federal grand jury handed down its indictment. Biddle faces a detention hearing before federal Magistrate Judge David Baker in an Orlando courtroom on June 11. Biddle made an initial plea of not guilty on June 6. He has been assigned a federal public defender and is scheduled to go on trial on August 4.

Outraged Broward sheriff lashes out at state attorney for arresting 3 deputies
Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony blasted the State Attorney's Office for arresting three corrections deputies who are accused of battering a woman they booked into jail almost three years ago. Tony said the deputies never should have been arrested, that the woman they're accused of beating attacked and injured them and he is reinstating them. 'So, we're moving forward from an internal-affairs standpoint. Our investigation has been completed. All three deputies will be reinstated to full capacity, and they've been either exonerated of these false allegations or it's been unfounded,' he said at a press briefing Friday morning. The State Attorney's Office arrested Sgt. Zakiyya Polk, Deputy Cleopatra Johnnie and Deputy Denia Walker last week on aggravated battery charges stemming from an Oct. 4, 2022, incident involving a woman being booked into jail on a charge of driving under the influence. Each faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on the second-degree felony charge. Eric Schwartzreich, Polk's attorney, said she and the other 'detention deputies have not committed any crimes, or any policy violations.' 'As a criminal defense attorney that represents those that find themselves thrust into the criminal justice system, which at times includes deputies, this is the first time that the Sheriff and I have stood in solidarity and both of us agree that these deputies should not be charged with any crimes,' Schwartzreich said in an email to the Miami Herald. 'This is an important case for all of law enforcement. I applaud the Sheriff on his response and for standing up for the men and women who keep us safe.' According to the deputies' arrest warrant, the woman, 38-year-old Samantha Caputo, became argumentative when the deputies told her to remove her bra as she was changing from her personal clothes to her jail uniform. Polk pushed Caputo, and then Johnnie and Walker punched and kicked her several times, the warrant states. Walker and Polk also pepper-sprayed Caputo, and Polk shot prongs into her with her Taser stun gun, according to the warrant. After the struggle, Caputo had a hematoma under her right eye, bruises and a scar from the Taser prongs, the warrant states. The jail nurse treated her for her injuries, and she was hospitalized days later because the Taser wound became infected, according to the warrant. Tony stressed that security-camera footage shows the deputies used an appropriate amount of force in controlling Caputo. He said Caputo 'struck, scratched and bit' one of the deputies, puncturing the skin and fracturing her finger. 'The video is crystal clear that [the deputies] had demonstrated only the level of force necessary to get this individual back into compliance,' Tony said. 'Our standard is reasonable, necessary force in proportion to the threat to that which we face.' Tony struck out at Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor's office for pursuing charges against the deputies yet declining to charge in many cases against deputies and other public employees whom the sheriff's office recommends for prosecution. Referring to Polk, Johnnie and Walker as 'the select three,' Tony questioned why Pryor's office pursued them while ignoring other public-corruption leads from the sheriff's office. 'This is most certainly a miscarriage of justice and exhibits symptoms of public corruption in itself,' Tony said. Tony said that in his two terms he has taken deputy misconduct so seriously that he has fired 141 of them. He said he holds his deputies to strict standards when they use force. Pryor responded in a statement that it took almost three years to charge the deputies because prosecutors didn't begin looking at the case until Caputo's attorneys filed a motion to dismiss a charge of battery on a law-enforcement officer. Public Corruption Unit prosecutors then viewed the security-camera footage and decided to charge the deputies, Pryor said. They also dropped the battery charge against Caputo, according to court documents. 'All individuals charged with a crime are presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty. At no time were the detention deputies placed in front of the national media in handcuffs, they were allowed to surrender to the jail at a time that was arranged with their defense attorneys in advance, and they were released from the jail on agreed bonds of $7,500 without going through magistrate court,' Pryor said. Tony said he was outraged the charge against Caputo was dropped. 'You don't get a free pass to strike, injure or harm any of my God damn deputies in this agency,' he said. 'None of them!' Johnnie's attorney did not immediately respond to a Herald request for comments. Information about Walker's legal representation was not immediately available. All three deputies were released from jail on May 29, the same day they were arrested. Tony brought up the case of former Broward Sheriff's Office Deputy Ronald Thurston and other examples of what he said were mishandled cases by Pryor's office. READ MORE: Broward school security specialist is accused of abusing student Thurston was fired for excessive force in 2022. The sheriff's office recommended the State Attorney's Office charge him with battery the previous year, but prosecutors declined. He was arrested three years later on charges of aggravated child abuse and aggravated battery after being hired by Broward County Public Schools to work security at Blanche Ely High School in Pompano Beach. Pryor defended his office's handling of both cases against Thurston. 'Thurston was criminally charged in February of this year on an unrelated matter and is currently facing criminal prosecution by our agency,' Pryor said. 'As with all cases, we will file criminal charges when we have facts and evidence to support them.'

Broward sheriff reinstates deputies charged in jail fight, says ‘public corruption' led to arrests
An incensed Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony announced Friday the reinstatement of three detention deputies recently arrested over a fight with an inmate, describing the decision to charge them as evidence of 'public corruption and favors for friends.' The three deputies, Denia Walker, 37, Cleopatra Johnnie, 47, and Sgt. Zakiyyah Polk, 44, were arrested on felony aggravated battery charges last week following an investigation by the Broward State Attorney's Office. The three women were processing Samantha Caputo, 38, who had been arrested on a DUI charge, when an argument ensued and she flung her bra at one of the deputies, according to jail footage and arrest warrants. The altercation then became physical, though most of it occurred off camera. Caputo lost consciousness during the fight and suffered multiple injuries, saying in a sworn statement that she was in fear for her life. The deputies also had injuries. At a news conference Friday, Tony was flanked by the deputies' private attorneys as he repeatedly condemned the State Attorney's Office over its charging decisions both in the jail fight and in other cases while suggesting that prosecutors treated Caputo differently because of her name and connections. He did not elaborate on what those connections were. 'This is most certainly a miscarriage of justice and exhibits signs and symptoms of public corruption in itself. Favors for friends,' Tony said, adding that there are individuals who 'are selectively charged and those who are not. Is it their last name? Is it they're a power player or influence in this community?' The Sheriff's Office will foot the bill of the three deputies' criminal defense and all of them will be reinstated to full duty, Tony said. Tony began the news conference by going through the numbers of potential criminal cases involving his deputies that he has sent to the State Attorney's Office, arguing that prosecutors have repeatedly declined to charge them. He then had reporters watch segments of the jail footage from the Oct. 4, 2022, incident to show that the deputies acted professionally. All of the deputies 'demonstrated only the level of force necessary' to get Caputo into compliance, Tony said. BSO nursing staff treated Caputo immediately after the incident. She had significant bruising underneath her right eye and a bruised and swollen face, according to the warrants. At a hospital after she was released, she learned she had a skin infection where she had been shocked with a Taser. The deputies also sustained injuries during the fight, Tony said, including a bite that fractured the bones in Polk's finger. Caputo had been charged with aggravated battery following the fight, but the State Attorney's Office dropped those charges, as well as the original DUI charge, another decision that he suggested was selective treatment. 'I don't care if it's the Caputos, the Thurstons, the Rockefellers, the Vanderbilts, the Trumps or the goddamn Obamas,' Tony said. 'It doesn't matter when you're in Broward County. Everyone's going to be held to the same standards.' The State Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to Tony's allegations Friday afternoon.
