Ed Pope
Charlotte County, FL Sheriff’s candidate Ed Pope thought a raffle would be a good fundraiser. It turned out that it is illegal for candidates to use raffles as fundraisers. Someone filed a complaint with the Sheriff’s Department who in turn referred the complaint to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement who is now investigating.

04/27/2012 – Charlotte sheriff candidate’s raffle spurs inquiry
Odd that a bunch of threads on the Charlotte County forum have been LOCKED by the Mod. Wonder what’s going on…
Not even elected and is starting his own Gambeling ring..NICE!!!
Pope said in a Radio interview that he was man enough to admit when he wrong.. The problem is ignorance of the Law for a civlian means jail time but for him he thinks hes above the law and didn’t admit he was wrong til he got caught. Just like a cop/wannabe Politican/criminal..Same as a person robing a 7-eleven and when the cops show up he say I changed my mind because I was unaware of the law..LOL A cop unaware of the Law..Makes me LOL
