STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOLLOWING INVESTIGATION
Pursuant to section I 06. 25(4)(c), Florida Statutes, undersigned staff counsel files this
written recommendation for disposition of the referral in this case recommending that there is
probable cause to charge Respondent with violating Section 106.141(1), Florida Statutes
Based upon a thowugh review of the Report oflnvestigation submitted on September 6, 2013,
the following facts and law support this staff recommendation:
On January 8, 2013, the Florida Elections Commission ("Commission") received
1
a refenal from the Department of State, Division of Elections ("Division"), alleging that
Reginald N Fullwood ("Respondent") violated Chapter 106, Florida Statutes
2
Respondent was a candidate for State Representative, District 13, in the 2012
election cycle
3
By letter dated March 26, 2013, the Executive Director notified Respondent that
Commission staffwould investigate the following statutory provision:
Section 106.141(1), Florida Statutes: Reginald N. "Reggie"
Fullwood, candidate for the Office of House Representative,
District 13, failed to file a report reflecting the disposition of all
remaining funds within 90 days after he was elected during the
2012 election cycle. The I ermination Report was due September
6,2012
4..
Respondent filed his State of Florida Appointment of Campaign I reasurer and
Designation of Campaign Depository for Candidates forms ("DS-DE-9"), on February 17, 2011,
and on April 23, 2012, appointing himself as treasurer for his campaign on both forms . (ROI
Exhibit 1 & Attachment "A") 1
5.
On February 18, 2011, Kristi Bronson, Chief~ Bureau of Election Records, sent
Respondent a letter acknowledging that Respondent had been placed on the 2012 active
candidate list The letter advised Respondent that all candidates filing reports with the Division
are required to use the electronic filing system ("EF S") and provided Respondent with a user
identification number and initial password to grant access to the EFS (ROI Exhibit 3)

The Report oflnvestigation is referred to herein as "ROL"
Staff Recommendation FEC

Ms . Bronson's Febmary 18, 2011letter fmther advised Respondent that all of the
Division's publications and repmting fmms were on its website arid directed Respondent to print
out the 2011 Calendar of Reporting dates as well as other documents Id
7..
Respondent's 2012 Termination Report was due to be filed by September 6, 2012;
however, Respondent failed to file his report (ROI Exhibit 7)
8
By letters dated September 13, 2012, October 2, 2012, arid October 17,2012, the
Division informed Respondent that his 2012 I ermination Repmt still had not been received The
October 17, 2012 letter included copies of the previously mailed notices arid was sent via
certified mail with delivery confirmation Each of the three notices was sent to the address
Respondent listed on his DS-DE 9 form (ROI Exhibits 4, 5 & 6)
9.
As of September 10, 2013, Respondent still has not filed his 2012 Termination
Report
10..
"Probable Cause" is defined as reasonable grounds of suspicion supported by
circumstaiices sufficiently strong to warraiit a cautious person in the belief that the person has
committed the offense charged Schmitt v State, 590 So 2d 404, 409 (Fla. 1991) Probable
cause exists where the facts arid circumstaiices, of which an [investigator] has reasonably
trustworthy information, are sufficient in themselves for a reasonable man to reach the
conclusion that aii offense has been committed Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles v. Favino, 667 So2d 305, 309 (Fla. 1' 1 DCA 1995).
1L
The facts set forth above show that Respondent was a caiididate for State
Representative, District 13, in the 2012 election cycle Respondent's 2012 I ermination Repmt
was due by September 6, 2012, but he failed to file his report By letters dated September 13,
2012, October 2, 2012, October 17, 2012, the Division notified Respondent that his 2012
I ermination Report had not been received Despite receiving three letters fiom the Division,
Respondent still has not filed his 2012 I ermination Report
Based upon these facts and circumstaiices, I recommend that the Commission find
probable cause to charge Respondent with violating the following statutory provision:
Count 1:
On or about September 6, 2012, Respondent violated Section
106 141(1), Florida Statutes, when he failed to file his 2012
I ermination Report
Respectfully submitted on September
