FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony is facing more scrutiny about his past.

Officials with the Florida Commission on Ethics said it concluded for a second time that Tony failed to disclose that he’d shot and killed a man when he was a teenager back in 1993 when Gov. Ron DeSantis was considering appointing him to sheriff.

The panel also found the sheriff lied on applications when renewing his driver’s license.

The commission’s next step may be filing a formal request to the governor that Tony be removed from office.
