CRESCENT CITY, Fla. – A controversial proposal by the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office to take over all law enforcement operations in Crescent City comes during a time when the entire city police department has been placed on administrative leave.
The complaints were brought to City Manager Michael Esposito’s attention while he was searching for a candidate to replace former police chief Mark Carman. Carman retired after only 18 months on the job. His retirement came six days after a female police officer complained to Esposito about an incident in which she claims Carman was physically aggressive with her.
