The Issue The issue in this case is whether the Petitioner, Andrea Latson, should be granted an exemption from disqualification from employment, pursuant to Chapter 435, Florida Statutes.
Findings Of Fact The Petitioner, Andrea M. Latson, became subject to the screening requirements of Chapter 435, Florida Statutes, by obtaining employment in a day care facility for children. As a result of the screening process, it was discovered that the Petitioner had a criminal history which disqualified her from employment in such a facility. The Petitioner was advised of the disqualification, and was also advised that she could seek an exemption from the disqualification. The Petitioner promptly requested an exemption from disqualification. Following an informal hearing, the Petitioner's request for exemption was denied. The Petitioner timely requested an evidentiary hearing pursuant to Chapter 120, Florida Statutes. The Petitioner is disqualified by reason of pleading guilty to each of four separate charges of sale of cocaine, in violation of Section 893.13, Florida Statutes. Each of those violations was a felony.3 The Petitioner's guilty pleas were entered on or shortly before October 12, 1994. The criminal offenses to which the Petitioner pled guilty took place during January and February of 1994. The Petitioner provided very little in the way of information about her rehabilitation since the disqualifying crimes to which she pled guilty. She appears to be making progress towards achievement of a high school equivalency certificate, but did not provide any details regarding her efforts to improve her education. She does not appear to appreciate the seriousness of her disqualifying crimes, nor does she appear to be remorseful about them. To the contrary, the Petitioner displays a tendency to minimize her responsibility for those crimes and to attempt to shift the blame for those crimes to the circumstances in which she found herself at the times she committed the disqualifying crimes. None of the information provided by the Petitioner indicated that she had made any significant progress towards rehabilitation. Quite to the contrary, since the disqualifying crimes, the Petitioner, by fraudulent means, obtained at least $3,639.00 in public assistance money to which she was not entitled. On November 22, 1996, the Petitioner was arrested and charged with public assistance fraud in violation of Section 409.325(1), Florida Statutes.4 The Petitioner entered a plea of guilty to the charge. The Petitioner has done very little to pay back the fraudulently received funds.
Recommendation Based on all of the foregoing, it is RECOMMENDED that the Department issue a final order denying the exemption that the Petitioner has requested.

The Issue At issue is whether Respondent committed the offense set forth in the Administrative Complaint and, if so, what penalty should be imposed.
Findings Of Fact Since September 26, 1986, Respondent, Dock Heidelberg, Jr., has been certified by Petitioner, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission, as a correctional officer, certificate number 48931. On May 11, 1990, Otis James Lawrence, a police officer employed by the City of Opa Locka, Dade County, Florida, was engaged, under cover, in a reverse sting operation. At or about 8:30 p.m. that date, Officer Lawrence was approached by Respondent, who asked if he could get "a bag of weed," referring to cannabis (marijuana). Officer Lawrence guided Respondent into a hallway area where he gave Respondent a small plastic baggie of cannabis, less than 5 ounces, in exchange for $7.00 in United States currency. Officer Lawrence then identified himself and placed Respondent under arrest for the purchase and possession of cannabis, as proscribed by Section 893.13, Florida Statutes. On December 16, 1993, in the County Court in and for Dade County, Florida, Case No. 90-69237, Respondent pled nolo contendere to the charge of unlawful possession of cannabis. The court found the Respondent guilty of the charge, but withheld adjudication, and assessed costs of $108.00. As for the charge of purchasing cannabis, no action was taken by the court. On March 26, 1996, during the course of Respondent's annual evaluation as a correctional officer employed at South Florida Reception Center, a FCIC report was obtained which revealed the aforesaid arrest. At the time, no information regarding the arrest was documented in Respondent's personnel file. Upon receipt of the information regarding Respondent's arrest, the matter was referred to a senior inspector with the Department of Corrections for investigation. That investigation was terminated when, on April 2, 1996, Respondent resigned his employment at South Florida Reception Center.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that a Final Order be rendered which finds Respondent guilty of having failed to maintain good moral character, as defined by Rule 11B-27.0011(4)(b), Florida Statutes, and therefore subject to disciplinary action for having violated the provisions of Section 943.1395(7), Florida Statutes. For such violation, it is RECOMMENDED that the penalty set forth in paragraph 20, above, should be imposed. It is further RECOMMENDED that the Final Order find Respondent not guilty of all other charges raised by the Administrative Complaint.

The Issue Whether Respondent's teaching certificate should be revoked pursuant to Chapter 231, Florida Statutes, as set forth in petition, dated November 8, 1979.
Findings Of Fact Respondent Robert Marshall Stabler holds Florida Teaching Certificate No. 306751, Graduate, Rank III, valid through June 30, 1981, covering the area of elementary education. He was so licensed on May 9, 1979. (Stipulation.) Respondent was employed in the public schools of Brevard County at Pineda Elementary School, Cocoa, Florida, as a teacher from 1971 to May 1979. Respondent was also employed by Brevard Community College to instruct inmates at the Brevard Correctional Institution at Sharpes, Florida, for several years prior to May 9, 1979. (Testimony of Fisher, Brock, Curtis.) In late April 1979 a correctional officer at the Brevard Correctional Institution received information from a confidential informant, who was an inmate, that Respondent would bring marijuana into the institution on May 9, 1979. On that date, at approximately 6:15 p.m., Respondent entered the correctional facility and was advised by a correctional officer that college instructors were going to be searched that evening. Respondent was asked to submit to such a search and he consented to the same. Respondent was thereupon directed to the nearby "shakedown" room where his briefcase was opened and three packages wrapped in white paper were discovered. At this time, Respondent stated "That's just for my own use." A white envelope containing thirteen five dollar bills was also found in the briefcase. A narcotics officer of the Brevard County Sheriff's Department thereupon weighed and made a standard field test of the material contained in the packages and determined that it was cannabis in excess of 100 grams. The officer then placed Respondent under arrest for introducing contraband upon the grounds of a correctional institution. The packages were thereafter submitted to the Sanford Crime Laboratory for analysis and it was determined that they contained a total of 106.6 grams of cannabis and that two of these packages contained more than five grams of cannabis leaf material. (Testimony of Fisher, Pierce, Steger, Thomas, Boling, Petitioner's Exhibits 1-4.) The regulations of the Brevard Correctional Institution authorize a search of visitors which is normally conducted on a random basis. If consent to search is not given, the non-consenting individual is not permitted to enter the institution. (Testimony of Thomas.) Respondent received outstanding teacher performance evaluations at Pineda Elementary School during prior years and is considered by his principal to be an above-average teacher. Another faculty member at the school characterized him as an "excellent" teacher. He excelled in dealing with students with disciplinary problems and had excellent relations with both students and faculty personnel. He was also considered by his supervisor and a fellow instructor to be the most outstanding teacher at the Brevard Correctional Institution who was highly successful in motivating his students. (Testimony of Curtis, Brock, Walker, Weimer, Respondent's Composite Exhibit 1.)
Recommendation That Respondent's teaching certificate be revoked for a period of four years. DONE AND ENTERED this 12th day of May 1980 in Tallahassee, Florida. THOMAS C.

Findings Of Fact Question numbered 13 of Respondent's application for licensure form reads as follows: "Have you ever been arrested[?] If yes, list any and all arrests and dispositions. This may or may not be grounds for denial." In response to this question, Petitioner advised that he had never been arrested. Petitioner was arrested in 1972 for burglary of a building and grand larceny; in 1973 for possession of marijuana; again in 1973 for trespassing and possession of dangerous drugs; twice more in 1973 for probation violations; in 1974 for buying, receiving and concealing stolen property; twice in 1975 for buying, receiving and concealing stolen property; in 1975 for possession of heroin; in 1976 for burglary, possession of burglary tools, possession of stolen property, and breaking and entering automobiles; and in 1977 for probation violations. Adjudication was withheld on the 1972 charges, and Petitioner was Placed on five years' probation. A number of the other charges were dismissed. However, Petitioner was convicted of the trespassing and possession of dangerous drugs in 1973; of buying, receiving and concealing stolen property in 1975; of possession of burglary tools and breaking and entering automobiles in 1976; and of probation violation in 1977. Since his last conviction, Petitioner has married and now has a family. Petitioner and his parents believe that Petitioner's new family indicate that he is rehabilitated and is now of good moral character in spite of the fact that Petitioner admits he knowingly gave false information in response to Question numbered 13 on his application for licensure.
Recommendation Based upon the foregoing findings of fact and conclusions of law, it is, therefore, RECOMMENDED THAT: A final order be entered denying Petitioner's application for licensure as both an armed and unarmed security guard. RECOMMENDED this 7th day of January, 1981, in Tallahassee, Florida. LINDA M.

The Issue Whether Petitioner's application for a Florida Educator's Certificate should be granted.
Findings Of Fact On July 5, 1990, Petitioner, Judith Madeline Feldman (Feldman), purchased a $10 rock of cocaine from an undercover police detective during a police operation to combat street level cocaine dealing. The police found a pipe used to smoke cocaine in the console of Feldman's car. The pipe field tested positive for cocaine. As a result of the purchase of the cocaine and the possession of the cocaine pipe, Feldman was arrested and charged with purchasing cocaine, possessing cocaine, and possessing drug paraphernalia. In December 1990, Feldman pled nolo contendere to one count of purchasing cocaine and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. Adjudication was withheld, and Feldman was placed on probation for two years. By court order dated February 24, 1992, the records concerning the arrest on July 5, 1990, were sealed. In March 1996, Feldman filed an application with the Florida Department of Education for a Florida Educator's Certificate. The application form contains the following inquiry concerning the applicant's arrest record: Have you ever been convicted, found guilty, entered a plea of nolo contendere (no contest), or had adjudication withheld in a criminal offense other than a minor traffic violation (DUI is NOT a minor traffic violation); or are there any criminal charges now pending against you? Failure to answer this question accurately could cause denial of certification. A YES OR NO answer is required by Florida Law. If you check the YES box, you must give the information requested for each charge. Please attach a separate sheet if you need more space. Any record that has NOT been SEALED or EXPUNGED must be reported in this section. Feldman checked the No box on the arrest record section of the application. The application contained a section inquiring about sealed or expunged records. The application contained the following: Have you been convicted or found guilty of a criminal offense other than a minor traffic violation (DUI is NOT a minor traffic violation) and such record(s) was sealed or expunged? Failure to answer this question accurately could cause denial of certification. A YES or NO answer is required by Florida Law. If you check the YES box, you must give the information requested for each charge. Please attach a separate sheet if you need more space. SEALED or EXPUNGED records MUST BE REPORTED pursuant ss. 943.0585 and 943.059, FS. However, the existence of such records WILL NOT BE DISCLOSED nor made part of your certification file which is public record. Feldman checked the No box on the sealed/expunged record section of the application.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that Petitioner's application should be granted with a one-year probation and appropriate conditions relating to drug screening and counseling during the probation period.

The Issue Whether petitioner should suspend or revoke respondent's certification as a correctional officer for the reasons alleged in the administrative complaint?
Findings Of Fact Respondent Edward L. Bonifay, III has held a correctional officer's certificate at all pertinent times. From October 1, 1980, till November 3, 1982, he worked for the Escambia County Sheriff's Department. When he left, his certificate automatically became inactive. (Testimony of Frick) Except in emergency circumstances not pertinent here, the Escambia County Sheriff's Department has a firm, written policy against male correctional officers entering the female housing area in the Escambia County Jail unless accompanied by a female correctional officer. The Jail Operations Manual, which Mr. Bonifay purported to have read more than once, states the policy. He was told about it. Everybody who works at the jail is aware of the policy. (Testimony of Eddings) The Jail Operations Manual also stated the requirement that any escape attempt be reported in writing. Nell Vaughn shared a cell with several other women at the Escambia County Jail in September of 1982, at a time when Minnie Squires had the adjacent cell to herself. On several occasions, including at least two in September of 1982, Ms. Squires asked other inmates to summon respondent Bonifay. At least twice in September of 1982 he arrived at her cell door alone and touched her when she came to the door undressed. Ms. Vaughn, who sometimes monitored events next door through a peephole, observed this. Bonifay admitted as much to two fellow officers, although he claimed, in one rendition, that she was trying to escape and that he was obliged to grab her breast to prevent the escape, although, he conceded, maybe he did leave his hand on her breast "too long" and maybe his hand did "slide down her stomach." To Nell Vaughn it looked like he was fondling her breasts while they were both inside the cell, after any conceivable risk of escape must have been well past. Nor does the escape hypothesis explain why Ms. Vaughn saw his hand in Ms. Squires' crotch. Respondent Bonifay never made any written report of an escape attempt on Ms. Squires' part, and made no written report of having visited a woman prisoner's cell unaccompanied by a female correctional officer. Once the events of September came to light, his superiors lost confidence in him and he was unable to function as a correctional officer in the jail. His credibility was called into question and his effectiveness was lost. (Testimony of Eddings, Jones) Petitioner filed its proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law, and the proposed findings of fact have been adopted, in substance for the most part. To the extent they have been rejected, they have been deemed immaterial, cumulative, subordinate or unsupported by the weight of the evidence.
Recommendation Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is RECOMMENDED: That petitioner revoke respondent's certification as a correctional officer.

The Issue The issue presented is whether Respondent is guilty of the allegations contained in the Amended Administrative Complaint, as amended, filed against him, and, if so, what disciplinary action should be taken against him, if any.
Findings Of Fact At all times material hereto, Respondent has been the holder of a Class "B" security agency license, number B 0001057. On July 27, 1995, Respondent was tried, was found guilty, and was adjudicated guilty of grand theft, a third-degree felony, in violation of Section 812.014(1)(a), Florida Statutes. On July 27, 1995, Respondent was tried, was found guilty, and was adjudicated guilty of perjury not in an official proceeding, a first-degree misdemeanor, in violation of Section 837.012, Florida Statutes. In the foregoing proceeding, the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, placed Respondent on probation for terms of five years and one year to run concurrently, and ordered Respondent to pay restitution in the amount of $15,783.67 to the victim.

The Issue The issue in this case is whether the Department of Law Enforcement, Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission (Commission), should revoke Respondent's correctional officer certificate on charges that he is not of good moral character because he committed a third degree felony by introducing contraband onto the grounds of the Hillsborough County Correctional Institution (HCI) in violation of section 944.47(1)(a), Florida Statutes.1/
Findings Of Fact Respondent, Ray D. Jones, was certified by the Commission on October 7, 2003, and holds Correctional Certificate 235065. He was employed as a DOC correctional officer from February 26, 2003, until June 22, 2011. Before this matter arose, Respondent had not been disciplined by the Commission. In early 2010, Respondent was working at HCI and assigned to supervise one of two squads of inmates working outside the prison for the Hillsborough County (County) public works department. On work days, County employees would drive the County vans from a County transportation facility to the prison, drive onto prison property and down the prison's entry road, and stop at a gate in the prison's perimeter fence. There, the work squads leave HCI by passing through the gate and boarding the vans. Respondent would sit in the passenger seat in the cab of the van assigned to his squad, and the inmates would sit in the back of the van. There was a partition between the cab and the back of the van. When the vans returned to the prison at the end of the work day, the supervisors and inmates would unload outside the gate, and the vans would leave the prison. On January 4, 2011, an HCI inmate request was submitted that alleged improprieties regarding the work squads. As part of the investigation of those allegations, the County vans were inspected upon arrival at HCI on the morning of January 10, 2011. Numerous hats, some tools, duct tape, toys, food containers, purses, money, glasses, sunglasses, and other similar items were found on both vans. These items were considered to be "nuisance contraband." In addition, some scissors and three folding knives were recovered. One of the folding knives was in a cup holder in the cab of the van assigned to Respondent's squad. The other two were found in an insulated lunch bag in the cab of the van. Those two knives had blades that were sharp, pointed, and about two and a half to three inches long. The other folding knife was similar. The knives were not authorized by the appropriate prison official for use as tools. The Commission did not prove by clear and convincing evidence that there was candy on the van when it was inspected. At one point, on cross examination by Respondent, Inspector Talbot testified that there was a lunch box full of candy on the van. However, when Respondent questioned him further on the premise that Respondent carried his lunch with him and that he had not passed through the gate at the time of the inspection, Inspector Talbot stated he did not recall whether "there was actually food in there, maybe one of the other inspectors will recall." No other inspector testified. Upon questioning, Respondent readily admitted that he knew the knives and other items of contraband were on the van. He explained that the knife in the cup holder was used to cut debris from lawn mower blades. The two knives in the insulated lunch bag were his personal knives. He explained that he brought them in the bag to the County transportation facility and placed the bag in the cab of the van assigned to his squad, where they stayed. He testified without contradiction that he used his knives to cut up fruit that was part of his lunch. He brought his lunch from home in another lunch bag, which he carried with him when he boarded the van. Respondent denied that any of the knives on his van ever were inside the HCI perimeter fence or that he ever allowed the inmates to have access to the knives. Although the inmates involved were assigned to a work squad, and the knives on Respondent's van were not readily accessible to them, the knives nonetheless posed a potential risk to the public, Respondent and his fellow work squad supervisor, the County van drivers, and the inmates themselves. Upon questioning, Respondent admitted giving candy to inmates. He denied sharing his personal food with inmates. Respondent stated to the inspectors that he did not think the items found during the inspection on January 10, 2011, were a "big deal." Respondent explained that he said this because similar items of nuisance contraband were found on both work squad vans inspected that day and that both vans passed monthly inspections with all the nuisance contraband in open view. Even if the folding knives were not observed in prior inspections, Respondent maintained that the inmates had no access to them and that they never were brought into the prison. DOC disagreed with Respondent and terminated his employment based on the contraband, Respondent's admissions, and his "no big deal" statement. The Commission also disagreed with Respondent and contends that the contraband, Respondent's admissions, and his attitude are clear and convincing proof of bad moral character. The Commission alleged and maintained in its PRO that Respondent brought the knives onto the prison grounds every day he was working as a work squad supervisor between July 1, 2008, and June 22, 2011. However, the evidence was clear that all the contraband items recovered during the inspection on January 10, 2011, including the knives, were removed from the vans at that time, and there was no evidence regarding contraband after that date. It was not clear from the evidence how long prior to the inspection the knives were in the van used by Respondent's work squad. Respondent testified that he brought the insulated lunch bag with his folding knives to the County transportation facility months prior to the inspection. There was no evidence as to how long the other knife was on the van prior to January 10, 2011. Respondent admits that he was "wrong" to have his knives on the van. He does not believe he introduced the knives into the prison. He also does not think he should lose his certification because they were in the cab of the County van and never inside the perimeter fence. Respondent testified that the supervisor of the other work squad van still is working as a correctional officer at HCI although there was not only the same kind of nuisance contraband but also a prohibited metal kitchen knife and fork in the back of his van, where it would be accessible to the inmates, when it was inspected on January 10, 2011. The evidence was not clear as to what discipline that officer received from the Commission, if any.
Recommendation Based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, it is RECOMMENDED that the Commission enter a final order suspending Respondent's correctional certificate for two years, giving him consideration for the time he has been unemployed by DOC, and reinstating his certification as of June 22, 2013.
