Dear Historic City News editor:
The Oldest City in America, established in 1565, has an un-accredited police department, mismanaged by an incompetent, Napoleonic, vertically challenged Chief of Police – Barry “Barney” Fox.
On Wednesday November 14, 2018, two financial division employees, one of whom has been employed for 15-years, the other for 25-years, told Sheriff David Shoar that they were concerned about “suspicious vendor accounts” being paid by the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.
Historic City News readers are patriotically invited to attend the next regular meeting of the Saint Augustine Tea Party being held on Tuesday, November 27, 2018 at 6:30 p.m., in the meeting room of the Village Inn located at 900 North Ponce de Leon Boulevard, in St. Augustine. Please plan to attend.
Nancy Shaver, Mayor
City of St Augustine, Florida
Dear Historic City News editor:
I am writing today regarding inaccurate reporting in The St Augustine Record newspaper last week and their Editorial:” Fake News Has Come Home to Roost” 11/21/2018
As of 11:10 a.m. Tuesday morning, Historic City News editor Michael Gold became aware that Raye Brutnell had surrendered to authorities at the Flagler County Jail in Bunnell. The defendant was answering a warrant for her arrest, alleging numerous crimes committed in the process of carrying out, then concealing, her theft of more than $700,000 of public funds over a period of several years.
St Augustine Police Chief Barry Fox told Historic City News that he informed State Attorney R J Larizza that there are nine individuals who he believes are in violation of state law regarding the operation of “slot machine style” computer games of chance. The charges sought would be for keeping a gambling house and offering an illegal lottery This is not the first time we have seen these machines appear, but Fox says he hopes it’s the last.
Historic City News was notified by Florida Department of Transportation Public Information Officer, Allen Nelson, that traffic will be impacted at the following St Augustine and St Johns County locations where roadwork is being conducted.
Be alert to lane closures and temporary detours, as well as increased congestion in these areas. FDOT employees and contractors will be working on the roadways and need your full attention.
