HE DID IT AGAIN AT LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS' FORUM WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2016.
St. Johns County Sheriff DAVID SHOAR's polished published resume omits his entire time of service at the Palatka Police Department.
In effect, Sheriff SHOAR's polished published resume is his job application for re-election as Sheriff, and it omits his Palatka service.
In fact, it falsely states SHOAR went to work in St. Augustine in 1981.
That's false.
SHOAR He did not go to work for St. Augustine in 1982.
While paperwork does not reflect it, some witnesses heard SHOAR say that he was fired in 1981 after a few months as a dispatcher and a patrolman in Palatka.
Records prove beyond cavil that controversial Sheriff DAVID SHOAR, then known as "DAVID HOAR," worked for four months at Palatka Police Department as a dispatcher and patrolman before he was terminated in December 1981, at age 20.
Employment records in Palatka show that Patrolman DAVID HOAR resigned in November 1981 to accept a job with the St. Augustine Police.
HOAR's St. Augustine application gives a two word answer on why he was terminated from Palatka: "Another job."
Buy HOAR did not supply for the St. Augustine position until January 15, 1982.
So HOAR claimed to have resigned from Palatka P.D. in 1981 to accept a job that he did not even apply for until 1982.
And HOAR claimed on his St. Augustine job application that he had never before applied to "any public safety agency, police or fire department prior to this."
Other than the Palatka P.D. job, the only other jobs HOAR had ever held were work as a waiter at a Friendly Ice Cream Store in Springfild, Massachusetts and work in shipping and receiving for Deltona Corporation here in St. Augustine, Florida, giving "school" as the reason for his termination.
On his St. Augustine Police Department application, Officer HOAR claimed to consume only one six pack of beer per week, and never to have tried any drugs within 12 months of applying.
HOAR spelled his middle name as "BERNERD," when other documents state that it is "BERNARD."
HOAR's St. Augustine Police application was sworn to under oath before a notary.
Any material misrepresentations would have been grounds for termination and could still be grounds for revocation of his certification by the Florida Criminal Justice and Standards Commission, to which Governor RICHARD LYNN SCOTT has appointed by Sheriff DAVID SHOAR and his ex-boss and current henchmen, former St. Augustine City Manager WILLIAM BARRY HARRIS.
