LCSO releases alleged 'ghost employee' contract with jeweler who claims kickback scheme involving Sheriff Marceno
Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno put Ken Romano on the public payroll as a consultant in 2022 at $5,700 a month to provide “guidance regarding public relations” and social media at the agency.
