Regardless of the on going felony prosecution of VCSO Lt. Nardiello, he continues to be suspended WITH pay.

Is this in violation of the Volusia County Charter?

Is the VCSO confident that the State Attorney will drop the charges?

Lt. Nardiello remains on county payroll
Is this in violation of the County Charter (County Merit Rules)?

The County Charter is to the county, as the U.S. Constitution is to the country.

Inclusive to the County Charter, are the Volusia County Merit Rules.

So, are county officials violating the Volusia County Charter by continuing to pay Lt. Nardiello while he is being prosecuted for felony charge(s)?

Well, let's see - according to County Merit Rules, employees under criminal charges will be evaluated on whether their charges would preclude them from reporting to duty. The below emails from the VCSO clearly indicate that Lt. Nardiello has been suspended.

In the VCSO's February 13, 2013 email, the VCSO stated that Lt. Nardiello was suspended with pay, but that his status was subject to change. However, according to a March 28, 2013 email from the VCSO, Lt. Nardiello's pay status remains as suspended with pay. How can that be? According to County Merit Rules, this suspension with pay can only be allowed for up to five (5) days?

VolusiaExposed contacted the State Attorney's Office to confirm that they have filed formal charges on Lt. Nardiello. In a March 14, 2013 email, the State Attorney confirmed that their office had filed formal charges against Lt. Nardiello. Formal charges are filed against a criminal suspect only after the State Attorney's office has reviewed the case / evidence.

86-455(b)(2)
(c) Suspensions.
(1) Suspension without pay. An appointing authority, with the concurrence of the legal department and the personnel director, may suspend an employee without pay in the following situations:

a. Investigation. Whenever the appointing authority has reason to believe that an employee may have committed a serious violation or offense, but sufficient evidence is not yet available to make a proper evaluation and determination of appropriate final action, the appointing authority may suspend an employee for up to seven calendar days pending investigation.

b. Disciplinary action. When an appointing authority determines that suspension is an appropriate corrective action for a violation, an employee may be suspended for up to 30 calendar days. Ordinarily, an initial suspension for a particular offense will not exceed three to five workdays depending on the seriousness of the offense. A 30-day suspension would normally be imposed only for the most serious and flagrant of offenses, or as the last in a series of progressively more severe suspensions.

c. Employees charged with misdemeanor or felony. When an employee has been charged with a crime classified as a misdemeanor or felony, the appointing authority shall review the nature of the employee's offense; make a determination of the impact of the crime on the ability of the employee to perform the duties of his position in a satisfactory manner; and, if appropriate, suspend the employee until disposition of the charge or charges.

(2) Suspension with pay. In certain circumstances, the appointing authority may determine that, even though a suspension without pay may not be appropriate, it is nonetheless necessary to relieve the employee of his duties and remove him from the work site. In such a case, a suspension with pay may be given the employee for up to five workdays.

WILL THE STATE ATTORNEY
DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST LT. NARDIELLO ?
Is the current prosecution of Lt. Nardiello, just a dog and pony show ?

VCSO records indicate that their agency and the Office of the State Attorney have a very "friendly" relationship. In the recent past, the State Attorney has dropped felony charges in order not to embarrass the VCSO and one of their deputies.

Who here remembers the Deputy Duggan scandal?

Because of Deputy Duggan's misconduct, of attempting to romance a female DUI suspect, the State Attorney's Office dropped felony charges against the suspect in order not to embarrass the VCSO and / or deputy. And yes, that is in writing - read page 2 of the below attached Duggan Investigation, conducted by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.

We suspect that in order to spare the VCSO and Lt. Nardiello the embarrassment, charges will either be entirely dropped or seriously reduced.

AND THE COUNTY'S DOG AND PONY SHOW MUST GO ON !!

Lt. Nardiello Arrested !!

UPDATE - March 14, 2013
The State Attorney's Office has filed formal charges against Lt. Nardiello.

VolusiaExposed.Com intends to keep an eye on these investigations (both criminal and VCSO internal).

However, for now, the best source of information is the arrest report - see below.

Recently, VolusiaExposed.Com added Lt. Nardiello to our Brady Bunch list, due to him exceeding his law enforcement authority, in the arrest of Karl Rommel. We invite you to review our Brady Bunch list at the below link.

The VCSO issued a press release on the Stewart-Marchman molestation incident - but did not issue a press release of a jail rape - why not?

DID A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
INFLUENCE THE JAIL'S
RAPE INVESTIGATION?

Assistant County Attorney, Nancye Jones handles many of the litigations coming out of the Volusia County jail.

Nancye Jones' husband, VCSO Major Robert Jones, supervises the deputies that investigate possible criminal violations within the county jail.

We have concerns that several criminal investigations have been possibly manipulated, in order to reduce the County of Volusia's civil liability.

Our concern includes this particular in-custody sexual battery investigation, and the below listed situations.

We invite you to review our concerns.
