Complaint Review: Florida Department Of Agriculture - Tallahassee Florida

Not only did they admit a crime was commited this come from the head investigator Art Varnidore who has so far went out of his way to allow investigators to not only cover up the crime but allowed them to falsify wittness statements. Below is a letter to Art Varnidore severl months later after their falsified wittness statements and he clearly not only admits a crime was commited but confirms the people should be in jail. I sent the exact scenario to him that happened to my family and was the basis for our original complaint. After the response from him he realised what he did and a call was made to me by Buddy Beavis the head of the D.O.A.C.S threatening me. Here is a copy of his response. I will be adding the original investigator report soon that was falsified and a letter from the U.S navy officer who was the wittness they falsified his statement. I will include a letter from the U.S navy officer stating from him directly he did not make the statements the investigator said he made in his report which as you will see favors the criminals? Sio my question would be how much does it cost to pay an investigator at the D.O.A.C.S to falsify a wittness statemet? its clear something criminal was done because to falsify a wittness statement to benefit law breakers then several months later confirm under the same scenario it not only is a crime what they did but you go to jail? D.O.A.C.S. Buddy Bevis supports investigators falsifying wittness statements The department of agriculture and consumer services in florida regulates different professions and licenses. One of them being repo. men and women. Recently i filed a complaint against a man for repossessing a yacht for a group of people that had no right to have it reoped. In the investigators report he spoke to a wittness (U.S. Navy employee) who saw the yacht being taken. In the report he mad all kinds of comments that he said were made to him from this wittness like ' the wittness knew the owner' others were ' the wittness said he knew where the boat was from' After speaking to the wittness i soon learned he never made such comments to the investigator. The young man that illegally took the boat the D.O.A.C.S said did not repo without a license even though they had his invoice where he billed for 4k to reclaim boat for these people. I wrote an e mail today to the head chief investigator for the D.O.A.C.S giving him the scenario and here was his response -----Original Message----- From:--- Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2007 10:04 AM To: Trimble, Lisa Subject: Re: Attn. Art Varnadore Thank you for taking the time to explain my questions. It is great to have people like you willing to help the public understand the laws. So just for my understanding of our conversation, If John Doe owns a marina and asks me to go reclaim/repossess a vessel for him because someone left his marina without paying I would need a license to do this because I am not a regular employee of that person? If the vessel was reclaimed for a fee without a license I believe you said that person would be a guest of the Florida prisons correct? Is there a difference between reclaim and repossess? Would a repossess /reclaim be able to be done without a license though if that person owning the marina has a lien? Thank you HERE IS HIS ANSWER...... In answer to your questions. 1) Yes. You would become a guest of the Florida prison system. 2) No. There is no difference between the two under Chapter 493, Florida Statutes 3) No. That is a civil matter between the marina and the owner of the vessel. This should be done through the court and would be done by the Sheriff's Office in that jurisdiction. I hope this has satisfactorily answered your questions. Lisa Trimble Administrative Assistant I Bureau of Regulation and Enforcement As you can see the investigator Art Varnidore answered the question clearly. He then calls me back after realizing who the e mail was from. He tried to tell me there was a difference between repo. and reclaim after he just e mail saying there wasnt. He then went on to defend his investigators decision.( do we smell something crooked yet) I then filed a complaint after the investigation with internal affairs claiming the investigator made statements the wittness never made to him even quoting the wittness. They immediately come back saying they found nothing. One with even very little common sense would agree if internal affairs has a complaint their investigator falsified a wittnesses statement they would atleast call the wittness to ask him if it was true that he didnt make those comments the investigator said he did in the report. Well they didnt. After speaking to Art Varnidore i got a call from the great Buddy Bevis head of the Florida Department of Agriculture and consumer affairs. He told me if i didnt like it to sue them.

Any professional would fire such a person if it was proven and would want to get to the bottom of it. But the department including Buddy Beavis is to busy trying to cover up what happened. Anyone that ignores investigators that have falsely quoted wittnesses for comments they never made is just as guilty as the crooks themselves. Since the theft three state agencies have confirmed the ordeal was totally illegal and that does not include one federal agency on top of that. Buddy Beavis supports his investigators lying and making false statements during investigations.
