by Sheriff who fought violators himself caught in a scandal
A video has appeared online showing Sheriff Carmine Marceno, known for his fight against speeding violations, breaking the rules himself. The footage shows him driving at a speed of 74 mph on a road with a 50 mph limit in a Lamborghini Huracan. The video was likely filmed by the sheriff’s former friend, adding new details to the scandal.
This situation has raised serious questions about the integrity of law enforcement in Lee County. The fact that Marceno has repeatedly stated his “zero tolerance” for street racing is particularly striking. In June, he publicly stated:
“I have zero tolerance for street racing in Lee County. Driving at excessive speed is an incredibly selfish decision that endangers the lives of drivers, passengers, and other road users”
Connections with a businessman and gifts
Particular attention is drawn to the person who filmed the video – Ken Romano, the sheriff’s former business partner. According to reports, he gave Marceno gifts worth over $100,000, including jewelry and money to cover casino debts. There is even talk of possible machinations with a Mercedes car for the sheriff’s father.
This case has been a serious blow to the reputation of the law enforcement agency. The lack of comment from the sheriff’s office only heightens suspicions. This case is a reminder of how important it is for those responsible for upholding the law to themselves adhere to the established rules. Such incidents undermine citizens’ trust in the law enforcement system as a whole.
