OKEECHOBEE — Sheriff Paul May on Wednesday fired a detective who’s under criminal investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, according to a press release.
Former Detective Sgt. T.J. Brock is under investigation for sexual misconduct involving a woman inmate at the Okeechobee County Jail.
Brock was suspended with pay late last week when the investigation began.
The Sheriff’s Office offered no new details about the allegations against Brock.
- Don't know what to say about all this. I have known TJ since I was a youth and later had opportunities to work cases with him. Even though he wasn't a fan of my department (and I have to say that we weren't too fond of him), I'd hate to see his talent go to waste. I have never seen anybody interview a child the way TJ has. This is all just a shame, but if he did this, he needs to pay the price. He would preach to us about the bible and doing good unto others. If this is all true, I hope that he understands that he wasn't following his own teachings and that he has hurt a lot of people.
