PBSO sergeant disciplined for violating departmental rules when he demanded pilots take Mayor Sara Baxter on a ‘sightseeing’ flight, but he’s cleared for sending security agent to college championship football game at Baxter’s insistence.
A sergeant involved in providing security to Palm Beach County Mayor Sara Baxter was disciplined by Sheriff Ric Bradshaw last month for forcing agency helicopter pilots to take the commissioner on what was deemed a late-night “sightseeing tour” in January.
