Greg Brown, II, a candidate for Florida House, was charged last year for petty theft when he was caught removing the campaign signs of his competitor, Doug Broxson, from the property of J. LaDon Dewrell. Judge Gary Bergosh has dismissed the case finding that Broxson’s signs were unlawfully on the Dewrell’s property or the right-of-way and Brown had a lawful right to remove the campaign signs of Doug Broxson. Signed Order Granting Motion to Dismiss 2-3-11
Statement from Brown:
“Today our faith in government was restored. Over the course of the campaign, we learn first-hand the cruel nature of some politicians who will do anything to not only win, but continue to maliciously attack ones character and cause irreversible damage. My wife and I never wavered from the fact that we did nothing wrong. It is clear from the order that either the signs were unlawfully placed on private property, or were illegally placed in the public right of way and considered litter by Santa Rosa County. We appreciate all those that supported us during the campaign and well beyond. We are anxious to move forward with our lives and to be productive members of our community who facing much bigger challenges.â€
