LARIZZA DROPS SAPD TIME CARD FRAUD CASE AGAINST JOEL BOLANTE's DAUGHTER

Refusing to recuse himself, State's Attorney RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA dropped all charges against a St. Augustine Police Department Communications Supervisor, 

LOREN TIFFANY BOLANTE

LOREN TIFFANY BOLANTE  is the daughter of ex-Sheriff DAVID SHOAR's former UnderSheriff JOEL BOLANTE (standing below with smirk during selection of Dr. PREDRAG BULIC, M.D. as District 23 Medical Examiner.  (Photo credit; Flagler Live)L, 

JOEL BOLANTE's alleged sexual harassment recently resulted in an out-of-court settlement with Dr. Tina Jaeckle, Ph.D., who was fired for reporting the alleged harassment. The Jaeckle v. Flagler College, Inc. case has already led to six "retirements," including President JOSEPH JOYER, Ed.D. and Chancellor WILLIAM LEE PROCTOR.

JOEL BOLANTE runs Flagler College's government-funded Public Administration program, 

His daughter, LOREN TIFFANY BOLANTE allegedly got submitted false time cards and paid for hours that she did not work.  She was fired and prosecuted for organized scheme to defraud.

Defendant LOREN BOLANTE completed 25 hours of "community service" at a Middleburg, Florida VFW Post.

Defendant LOREN BOLANTE took a four hour Theft Awareness course.

Defendant LOREN BOLANTE got a pretrial diversion.

Defendant LOREN BOLANTE's father is controversial former St. Johns County UnderSheriff JOEL BOLANTE, who allegedly aided and abetted the coverup of the September 2, 2010 homicide of Michelle O'Connell with Deputy JEREMY BANKS'' service weapon.

Small world. Yes, JOEL BOLANTE is the Director of Flagler College's Public Administation program, which also employs St. Johns County Attorney PATRICK FRANCIS McCORMACK, who also aided and abetted that cover-up. 

LOREN TIFFANY BOLANTE was represented by attorney 

ROBERT LESTER McCLEOD, II, a/k/a "MAC" McLEOD.  

Big surprise.

"MAC" McLEOD was highly recommended by Sheriff DAVID SHOAR to be Deputy JEREMY BANKS' criminal defense lawyer.  BANKS has n ever been prosecuted, although two (2) respected judges found probable cause BANKS committed homicide.-- County Court Judge Charles Tinlin and U.S. District Court Judge Brian J. Davis

State's Attorney RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA remains soft on white collar crime and corruption,  Like predecessors, LARIZZA is as soft on white collar crime as an ice cream cone on St. Augustine Beach in July -- squishier than an eight-week old Halloween pumpkin. 

Here's State's Attorney RALPH JOSEPH LARIZZA conferring with his pal, disgraced ex-SHERIFF DAVID SHOAR, who legally changed his name from "HOAR" in 1994:

Despite recusing himself from the theft case of Sheriff's CFO RAYE BRUTNELL and the hominid case of Sheriff's Deputy JEREMY BANKS, LARIZZA did not recuse himself from the case of JOEL BOLANTE's daughter. 

Wonder why?
