Shake-Up in Chambers: At Flagler Courthouse, 3 Judges Intervene Over Allegations of Deputies’ Sexual and Racial Improprieties

March 16, 2018 | FlaglerLive | 28 Comments

Three of the Flagler County Sheriff's deputies assigned to courthouse duty that were named in internal inquiries, and that led to a shake-up at the courthouse: from left, Sgt. John Bray, who lost his position as a supervisor of courthouse bailiffs and was assigned desk duty at the Palm Coast Precinct, Jonathan Freshcorn, whose duties are unchanged, and Jeffrey Puritis, who has twice been disciplined since November and was re-assigned, a few weeks ago, to road patrol. He had been assigned to Judge Dennis Craig. (© FlaglerLive)

Two bailiffs have been disciplined and reassigned out of the courthouse, bailiffs have a new supervisor, and one judge’s administrative assistant lost her job as a judge’s assistant as a result of the alleged improprieties.
