An FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation has revealed that two Fruitland Park, Florida cops were members of a local Ku Klux Klan chapter. The officers were identified as Deputy Police Chief David Borst and Cpl. George Hunnewell.
The two officers were let go this past Friday after a confidential FBI source told Police Chief Terry Issacs the two officers were members of the KKK. Issacs is quoted as calling the charges “despicable and disgusting.” The information came to light because the FBI is conducting an international probe but has not identified the nature of its investigations. This is the second time an officer in the Fruitland Park police force was identified as a KKK member. In 2009, former Fruitland Park officer James Elkins revealed he was a local leader of the KKK and resigned.
