US Edition10 BSO Deputies Recommended for Termination After Tamarac Triple Murder Investigation
BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA, JUL 12 – The union calls the firing recommendations an excessive response that sacrifices deputies as political scapegoats while systemic agency issues remain unaddressed, union officials said.
- Following an internal investigation related to the February 16 triple homicide in Tamarac involving Nathan Gingles, the Broward Sheriff's Office has identified ten deputies and sergeants as candidates for termination.
- The recommendation followed months of internal affairs investigation into deputies' actions before and after Nathan Gingles fatally shot his estranged wife Mary Gingles, her father David Ponzer, and neighbor Andrew Ferrin.
- Mary Gingles had repeatedly contacted the Sheriff's Office before the murders, reporting fears for her safety related to Nathan Gingles, who was ordered to surrender a gun but never did.
- Union president Dan Rakofsky described the disciplinary actions as excessive and surprising, asserting that there is insufficient evidence to justify firing the deputies and committing to a strong defense for them through arbitration proceedings.
- Sheriff Gregory Tony made the ultimate decision to terminate ten deputies, emphasized the need for responsibility, and declared he would take strong measures to ensure such issues do not occur again, while the investigation continues to be open and ongoing.
