FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Lee County Sheriff’s Office deputy under investigation for Facebook posts that may have violated sheriff’s office policy has submitted a letter of resignation, a law enforcement source told WINK News on Thursday.
The sheriff’s office launched an internal affairs investigation this week into since-deleted posts from the account of deputy Chuck Quackenbush, who serves as the vice chair of the Lee County Republican Executive Committee. It’s the latest brush with controversy for Quackenbush, who resigned as California’s insurance commissioner in 2000 under threat of impeachment amid questions about his handling of funds.
