Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony's Job May Be On The Line

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Gov. Ron DeSantis, who appointed Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony to the job, may have to take action against him.

On Monday, a months-long investigation concluded that Tony lied numerous times about his past on several official documents.

During a press conference Tuesday, Gov. DeSantis said he'll discuss the findings with his aides before making a final decision.

"I talked to my staff, we're going to review everything and take a look. We saw the initial report and we'll review it in the coming days," he said.
