Report Summary
Case Number: 2004-0043-WB

REDACTED

Introduction:
The Florida Civil Commitment Center is a secure involuntary civil commitment facility,
located in Arcadia, Florida, where 450 1 sexually violent predators are housed. The
facility was established by authority of the Florida Legislature, specifically F.S. 394.910394.931. The law is commonly referred to as the Jimmy Ryce Act, which was ·signed
into Jaw on May 19, 1998, and became effective JanUllr)' I, 1999. The act categorized
certain sex offenders as "sexually violent predators," diagnosed with a mental
abnormality. The act sought to have these offenders involuntarily and indefinitely
committed to an appropriate secure facility for treatment after they have served their

criminal sentences.
During commitment, the resident must be examined at least once annually, to determine
if his predilection to committing a violent crime had changed. A multidisciplinary
clinical team, who makes a recOmmendation to the court that the resident is no longer a
danger to society, determines a resident's release from the facility.
Upon classification as a sexually violent predator, the residenr is conunitted to the care,
custody and control of the Department of Children and Families (DCF). Liberty
Behavioral Health Corporation (LBHC), located in Pennsylvania, is contracted by DCF
to provide services for this population, including a treatment program. The current
contract between LBHC and DCF began on January 1,2003, and is due to end on June
30,2005.
Former DCF Operations & Management Consultant, Lynda Sommers (retired on January
30, 2004) is the current on-site monitor via contract with DCF. Medical Services and
Health Manager Gregory Venz is responsible for oversight of the Sexually Violent
Predator Program, and is housed at DCF headqnarters in Tallahassee, Florida. DCF
leases the real property and buildings (Exhibit HH - Floor Plan) from the Department of
Corrections (DOC). The DOC maintains the perimeter of the facility, and provides
secure transport of residents to and from court proceedings and medical appointments.
The DeSoto County Sheriffs Office and the DOC have an agreement with FCCC to
respond in an emergency situation.
FCCC operates with a triad team approach, consisting of medical, clinical and security
staff. Executive Director, Rick Harry, manages facility staff. In the security area, lvfr.
Harry supervises the Facility Safety Director (FSD).' The FSD has direct supervision
over four Facility Safety Managers (FS:M), and indirect supervision over 152 other staff,
including spproximately 34 Facility Safety Assistants (FSA), 34 Therspeutic Community
The resident population as ofAugust 25, 2004.
Offenders are referred to as residents of the facility.
3 At the time oftbeinvestigation, Tiffany Lane served as the FSD.

Florida Civil Commitment Center Facility Safety Director Tiffany Lane falsified, altered,

The separate incidents are detailed as follows:

(Note: All FCC;C residents are referred to by number in this investigation. As they are

Incident
The WEI stated that on April 15, 2004, Resident (R/S) #15' was placed on 1:1 restrictive
status6 by staff psychiatrist, Robert Bellino, after he threatened to bum a female staff
member. The WEI stated that Dr. Bellino advised TA Debra Rodgers of this, and she
notified the Shift Supervisor, FSM James Staunton.
The WEI alleged that Mr. Staunton took no action to secure RlS #15. RlS #15 was
pernritted by the security staff to move about the facility unescorted. At 11:55 a.m., that
same day, RlS #15 climbed onto the roof of a building. Security staff, directed by Ms.
Lane and FSM James Staunton, rushed RlS #15 and attempted to restrain RlS #15 while
he was on the roof VVhen the security staff ran toward him, RlS #15 jumped off the
building and
The \VBI said that Ms. Lane conspired with:Mr. Staunton to cover up the errors made
during the critical incident. The WE1 alleged that security camera tapes documenting the
incident were erased or destroyed, and that this practice has occurred in other incidents.
The WEI alleged that Ms. Lane's motive was, in part, to conceal the fact that her mother,
TA Sylvia Russell, was on duty at the time of the incident. The WE I alleged that Ms.

Russell was at 11e gate where RlS #15 climbed to the roof. Ms. Russell allegedly "simply
watched and did nothing to keep RlS #15 from climbing ou the roof." Ms. Lane did not
discipline Ms. Russell for her inaction in a critical incident.

During the incident, two security cameras captured the event on live feed into the Safety
Control Office. TA Joseph Santos said he fihued the incident with a third, hand-held
camcorder. A fourth camcorder, operated by fonner employee David Langevin?> :ti1med
the event. Mr. Santos said that on or about April 16, 2004, he viewed the videotape
(ExhibitJJ) which he shot of the incideut involving RlS #15. He said that, with exception

of approximately ten seconds of the actual incident, the tape is blank. He did not mow
who erased the Videotape or why it had been erased.

Feec Investigator, Kenneth Dudding, was assigned to conduct the internal investigation
of the critical incident. All staff who witnessed the event were requested to submit

written incident reports. Although Ms. Lane, shown on videotape, directed the actions of
11e security staff, she did not complete a report. After 11e OIG investigation began, Mr.
Harry directed her to write a report, which she used as her written statement of interview,
That report (Exhibit FF-l) was submitted on June 3, 2004, 49 days after the incident
occurred,
On April 16, 2004, Mr. Dudding requested the original incident reports from Ms. Lane.
. Ms. Lane provided him with a few at a time. Mr. Dudding also requested custody of all
videotapes of the incident. Ms. Lane told him to "get with her later," He was not able to
obtain the tapes until five days later. Mr. Dudding said he took the tapes to the library,
and wheu he viewed 110m, they had nofuing on them but "suow." Mr. Dudding called
11e Security Camera Technician, Mr. Jeffrey Persaud, Cable Network Service, ou April
16,2004. Mr. Persaud said the cameras should be working, and if there was "snow" on

the tape, someone recorded over or erased the tapes. The "snow" was not a sign that the
recorders were inoperable.

:Mr. Dudding said that Ms. Lane and :Mr. Staunton had a motive to ensure the tapes were
disabled. Mr. Dudding said the general conseusus of 11e security staff was that RlS # 15
would have eventually exited the roof voluntarily. However, Ms. Lane and:Mr. Staunton
ordered staff to "rush" RlS #15 while he was on the roof rather than involve clinical staff
to talk him down. Mr. Dudding said Mr. Stauntou told him he was justified in his actions
because RlS #15 has a history of
nail and set himself on fire.

and iliat RlS #15 was tryiug to eat a

Safety Control Log Records (Exhibit II), dated April 14, 15 and 16,2004, indicated the

videotapes were changed periodically, without incident. The logs did not reflect any
malfunction of the equipment. The April 15, 2004 log (containing the incident wi11 RlS
#15) stated that at 1325 hours (1:25 p.m.), Mr. Staunton removed Tape #71, and replaced
it with Tape #73.

Mr. Staunton stated that he hoped the staff videotaped the incident involving R1S #15.
He did not know there were two hand-held camcorders and two statiODary cameras taping
the incident. He said he had not viewed the tapes. He denied erasing the tapes and said
that Ms. Lane had custody of the tspes. He denied having any knowledge regarding Ms.
Lane or anyone else erasing the tapes. He recalled the incident regarding RlS #15 and
said that he saw R/S #15 on the roof cursing at staff and threatening to set himself on fire.

Ms. Lane said she had oversight of the Safety Control Office and its operations.
However, she stated she did not bow how to operate the video equipment, and that she
never handled them. Ms. Lane and :Mr. Staunton said they were unaware that the fourth
camera captured the event on fihn.
The fourth videotape, filmed by Mr. Langevin and obtained by investigators, was the
ouly tspe that documented the incident with R1S #15. That tape (Exhibit JJ) depicted R1S
#15 as he walked on the roof; calmly sat doWn, watched staff, and smoked a cigarette.
The tape appeared to capture only a portion of the incident, but at no time did R1S #15
appear to be in distress over eating a nail or setting his shirt on fire, as reported by Mr.
Staunton and Ms. Lane. The tape showed R1S # 15 when he stood up as the security staff
approached him. Audible was his waming to Ms. Lane. He told her to ten the staff to
back up or he wouldj1llI1p. The staff continued to advance toward RJS #15. He moved
toward the edge of the roof, and the tape ended. A split second later, the tape began
again and showed R1S #15 lying face down on the ground, as he moaned in pain. Mr.
Staunton handcuffed RlS #15, as Ms. Lane and other staff looked on. RlS #15 was
transported to the hospital.
FSM Donald Mosley stated that he trained Ms. Lane, before she was the FSD, on the
operation of the video equipment. Ms. Lane also stated that only she and the FSMs had
authority to remove security tapes from the Safety Control Office. As one of her
functions as FSD, Ms. Lane was required to review security tapes of critical incidents for
any actions required regarding staff perfonnance. Ms. Lane said she "wasn't interested
in seeing the tapes."
Former DCF employee Lynda Sommers is now the on site monitor for FCeC. She said
she was in her office on the day of the incident but did not observe R/S #15 on the roof.
She said she was aware of the allegations that Ms. Lane and 1v.1r. Staunton conspired to
develop a reason that justified the pursuit ofRlS #15 on 111e roof. She said she collected
the incident reports and sent them to Mr. Venz in Tallahassee. She did not have any
direct knowledge of tampering with reports or erasing videotapes.

2.

RfS #15 and Tee lavon Dukes Incident.

TA Debra Rodgers said she knew Ms. Lane "covered up" another incident involving RlS
#15. She stated that about a month or six weeks (exact date unknO'WU)8 prior to the April
15,2004 incident, she witnessed an argument with Tee JavonDukes and R1S #15.R1S
#15 spit on Mr. Dukes, and Mr. DuJ<:es punched R1S #15 in the face. Ms. Rodgers said
she wrote an incident report, and submitted' it to Ms. Lane. Ms. Rodgers said she

overheard Ms. Lane say to Mr. Dukes, "you got your ass in hot water. I can't keep

covering for you. You better straighten up." (Note: On August 5, 2004, the investigator
saw FSA Larry Avant guarding residents in the courtyard and asked him if he had
overheard Ms. Lane and Mr. Dukes. Mr. Avant confirmed that he heard Ms. Lane '8
statement to Mr. Dukes.)
A search for Ms. Rodgers' incident report proved unsuccessful. However, Tee Javon
Dukes verified that the incident occurred (Exhibit Z). However, Mr. Dukes stated he did
not strike RfS #15.
3.
RlS #9 Incident.
Complainant, Whistle Blower #2 (WB2) said that in June 2003, Ms. Lane destroyed

evidence, including videotapes and incident reports.. During that period of time, Ms. Lane
was Interim Facility Safety Manager (FSM-I) and Michelle Allen was Acting FSD.
According to TA Sylvia Russell (Ms. Lane's mother) Michelle Allen was one of her best
. friends from high school. Ms. Lane supervised the 3 p.m. - II p.m. shift, during the
absence of FSM William Landers. RfS #9 climbed onto the roof of themailroom.Ms.
Lane had several opportunities to stop him before he went up to the roof, but failed to act.
She allowed RfS #9 to walk freely up and down the compound grounds, threatening staff,

before he climbed onto the roof
When Mr. Landers returned to work the following day, he requested the security
videotape of the incident, to evaluate staff's responses to the emergency situation. WB2
said Ms. Lane and Ms. Allen removed the tape from the Safety Control Room, and
viewed the tape in a conference room in the Administratia:n Building. WB2 said former
employee, FSA Al Davis9, observed them as they viewed the tape. After Ms. Lane and
Ms. Allen departed the facility, WB2 said she and Mr. Landers went to the Safety Control
Room to view the tape. They discovered the tape was missing. FSA Dejuana Williams,
who was assigned to the Safety Control Room, reported to them that Ms. Allen bad taken
the tape and had not returned it.
The next day, during an FSM meeting, Mr. Landers said he was accused by Dr. Robert
Briody, former FCCC Executive Director, of discrediting Ms. Allen. When Mr. Landers
objected to the allegations, Dr. Briody stated that he would fire him if he said another
word. Mr. Landers was immediately reassigned to the midnight shift.
Ms. Lane stated in her interview with the OrG that she did uot remember the RJS #9

incident. RlS #9's administrative file was reviewed and copied.. No evidence of any
incident report or disciplinary action was found. IO
. TCC Henrietta Marshall, who witnessed the event, verified that the RfS #9 incident

occurred.

Mr. Davis could not be located for interview.
Quality Improvement Manager Jean Evans verified, by phone, on August 25, 2004, that no incident
involving RfS #9 was recorded em the critical incident records.

TCC Jobmrie Smalls verified that the RlS #9 incident occurred. Rather than instruct a
security officer to restrain and retrieve RlS #9, Ms. Smalls said Ms. Lane ordered another
'resident. RlS #18 to perform that security function. Ms. Smalls said a videotape was
made of the incident. She stated her supervisor, FSM Eloise Jones, and she were exiting
the facility at the end of their shift, when Ms. Lane approached them, and placed the
above-mentioned videotape in Ms. Jones' bag. Ms. Lane asked Ms. Jones to take the
tape home "so no one would see it.
FSA Eloise Jones, who had been on extended sick leave during the investigation, was
interviewed via telephone on September 10, 2004 (See Exhibit AA). She said that she
was never given a videotape by Ms. Lane. She also stated she did not remember the'
incident of R/S #9 climbing up on the roof. She stated that she never received any
document or tape from Ms. Lane, nor was she asked to take any items' to her home to
cover up for Ms. Lane. Ms. Jones said Ms. Lane was responsible for her demotion from
FSM-l to FSA, and that she would never consider helping Ms. Lane destroy evidence.
4.
FSM Donald Mosley/FSM-I Shawn Smith Incident.
FSM Donald Mosley alleged that Ms. Lane failed to docnment an event that occnrred on
Jnne 4, 2004. After Mr. Mosley reported the event to the cOIporate office on Jnne 16,
2004, he said Ms. Lane then fabricated the documentation as evidence that she took
action.

Mr. Mosley stated that on the evening of June 4, 2004, he was the shift supervisor. He
and FSM-I Shawn Smith had an argument. Mr. Mosley assigned Mr. Smith to a post that
he did not want to work. Mr. Smith informed Mr. Mosley that Ms. Lane told him he was
not reqnired to be assigned a fixed post. Mr. Smith abandoned bis post. and then he and
bis live-in girlfriend, FSA Christie Cline, left the facility, redncing the staff level by two
persons.

Mr. Mosley said he brought the matter to Ms. Lane's attention and she assured him that
the situation would be resolved. He said Mr. Smith then called Ms. Lane, and she gave
him pennission to go on leave. He said Ms. Lane stated she did not document the
incident with Mr. Smith and. Ms. Cline. Mr. Mosley said Ms. Lane instead retaliated
against him by changingbis sbift on Jnne 6, 2004, from night to day."

Mr. Mosley issned a disciplinary action, citing Mr. Smith and Ms. Cline, for refusing a
direct order and abandoning their posts. He submitted the letters to Ms. Lane, but no
action was taken. lVIr. Mosley said that since Ms. Lane failed to take disciplinary action,
on June 16, 2004, he sent a complete package, documenting the incident, to Camille

and then disciplined him two weeks after the incident.
Ms. Lane stated that Mr. Smith had refused to work the post he was assigued by Mr.
Mosley. She stated that she talked to :Mr. Smith and gave him permission to leave the
facility. She admitted that she did not document the incident at the time.

5. Henrietta Marshall Incident.
In September 2003, Ms. Lane destroyed a complaint written by TeC Henrietta MarshaII.
Ms. Lane instructed Ms. Marshall to secure all the residents in A-Dorm. Ms. Lane then
called all TCCs to report to F-Dorm to handle an incident. Ms. MarabaIl obeyed the
order, but was then lUlable to secure residents in A-Donn. Ms. Lane yelled and screamed
at her. Ms. Marshall said Ms. Lane's behavior was demeaning and condescending in
front of other employees. Ms. Lane also publicly threatened to fire her.
Ms. Marshall delivered the written complaint about Ms. Lane's unprofessional behavior
to her supervisor. FSM Eloise Jones. Ms. Marshall stated other employees, including TA
Delondria Cosey13 and TA Morrison, witnessed the incident and verified that she wrote

complaint in the garbage can. Ms. Marshall reported the events to Human Resources
Manager (HRM) Thomas Murphy. He referred her back to Ms. Lane. Mr. Murphy
refused to act on the allegations ill the complaint or to address the destruction of Ms.
Maraball's complaint.

6. Tee William Landers Incident.
J\.fr. Landers stated that in November 2003, Ms. Lane falsely represented that he was a
threat to the facility security. She also fabricated a disciplinary action, which was
overturned by the corporate office. Mr. Landers said that he was the shift supervisor and
was ordered by Ms. Lane to change his staffing patterns to accommodate the needs of
FSA Twanda Cooper, a personal friend of Ms. Lane. He refused to comply with the
request. He asked for a voluntary demotion and his request was immediately granted by
Ms. Lane. He also asked for personal time off on that shift, which was granted. After he
departed the facility, a memorandwn from Ms. Lane was placed at the Gate Control
Station, 14 denying Mr. Landers access into the facility. Ms. Lane informed him he "was a
threat to the security of the facility." Mr. LanderS said Ms. Lane was unable to identify
the nature of the threat. On the following Monday, in a meeting between Dr. Btiody, Mr.
Vau~ Ms. Lane and himself,:MI. Landers was accused of being hostile, argumentative
and insubordinate toward Ms. Lane. He said Ms. Lane alleged that he had tom off his
shirt and threw it at her. He was suspended pending the return ofHRM Tom Murphy.

Mr. Landers said he contacted Sue Nayla, Vice President of Operations, Liberty
Behavioral Health Corp. in Pennsylvania, and explained the situation to her. He was
assured the problem would be resolved. After 13 days, Mr. Landers was allowed to
return to work. He was offered a newly created position. He was asked to supervise the
computer lab and the library as a TCC. By offering him a promotion, he felt that his
complaint to the corporate office was considered by his superiors to be justified.
In March 2004, J\.fr. Landers viewed his personnel file, and discovered a letter of
discipline for insubordination during the November 2003 incident. The letter was not
initialed or signed by his supervisor, Tiffany Lane; HRM Thomas Murphy signed it. He
was never notified of the letter or given a corrective action plan.
On Augnst 2, 2004, FCCC Executive Director Rick Harry issued a reprimand letter to
Ms. Lane (Exhibit TT). She was cited for (I) enforcing unspproved practices that were
not part of the FCCC policy and procedure manual, (2) disparate treatment ofresidents

when enforcing rules. and (3) inconsistencies in staff conduct during critical incidents.
Examples referenced were incidents where a resident jumped from the roof. IS a residenton-resident fight that resulted in a serious stabbing injury,I6 and a resident,17 while he was
in physical restraints, evading staff and damaging property. The memorandum stated that
should any further incidents occur in which staff did not follow established policy and
procedure, Ms. Lane would ''no longer occupy the position of Facility Safety Director."
On August 10. 2004. Ms. Lane's employment was terminated via return receipt letter
(Exhibit UU). The action was taken by Mr. Harry as a direct result of Ms. Lane's
d""ision and actions on August 3,2004, wherein the safety and welfare of the FCCC staff
and residents was placed in serious jeopardy. Due to Ms. Lane's actions in attempting to

move several residents from one housing unit to another, without sufficient resources to
accomplish the move, "a hostile and rebellious environment was created which took over
20 hours to diffuse."

Allegation 2:
Florida CMI Commitment Center Facility Safety Manager James Staunton falsified,
altered, destroyed and/or fabricated documents contained in FCCC internal
investigations, incidents or events.
Findings:
The infonnation obtained supports the allegation. Mr. Staunton admitted that, on April
15, 2004, he changed three internal incident reports (Exhibits 00, PP and QQ) by
altering their original form. He admitted that he changed the times of the incident to
coincide with the times that were on the official emergency log in the Safety Control
Office (Exhibit RR). He admitted that he did not have the permission of the report
writers, Therapeutic Assistant (TA) Joseph Santos and TA Sylvia Russell, to alter their
work. Mr. Staunton did not write his initials next to the changes that he made in their
reports. He denied changing the contents of the reports.
AD Robert Vangho inspected the incident report for the
Incident, signed by Mr.
Staunton (Exhibit VV). Mr. Vaugho stated it appeared to have been completed by two
different people since part of the narrative was in handwriting that slanted to the right and
another part was in a style that slanted to the left.
FCCC Investigator Kenneth Dudding said that Mr. Staunton admitted iliat he changed the
reports "because he could." Mr. Dudding stated thai according to policy (Exhibit SS),
residents placed on 1: 1 status are to be continuously observed with no more than five feet
of distance between the staff member and the resident :Mr. Dudding said :Mr. Staunton
had been infonned by TA Debra Rodgers iliat RlS #15 was on 1:1 status, but that Mr.
Stuanton allowed him unrestricted movement for 33 minutes before he notified staff that
RlS #15 was on the roof.

Mr. Staunton also admitted iliat he had instructed staff to change or re-write other
incident reports. However, he stated his reasoning was not to falsify informatio~ but
because they did not write complete and 'accurate reports of the incidents about which

they reported. He could not provide specific incidents to verify his admission.
:Mr. Staunton said he was aware that from 28 to 33 minutes elapsed, betWeen the time he
was notified by TA Debra Rodgers, that RlS #15 was placed on 1:1 restrictive status and
the time RlS #15 was allowed by staff to climb up on the roof. He said he was aware that
1:1 status meant that the resident was a danger to himself and must be constantly
monitored. :Mr. Staunton admitted that when he relayed. a message, by radio, to TA
Joseph Santos, to keep RJS #15 on the donn, that he did not mention the I: I status.

Case Number 2004-0043-WE

Office of Inspector General

Mr. Staunton infonned the FCCC Investigator, Kenneth Dudding, that the reasou he seut
security'staffup on the roof to physically restrain RlS #15, was that RlS #15 swallowed a

nail and tried to set his shirt on fire. (Note: No other staff member verified this
allegation.) Mr. Staunton said he saw RlS #15 flick his lighter, as though to light his
shirt on fire. (Note: The fourth videotape showed RJS #15 lighting a cigarette.) Mr.
Staunton said RlS #15 was agitated and was cursing. On the portion of the videotape that
was not tampered with, RfS #15 walked steadily across the roof, and did not appear to be
agitated or upset. When Mr. Staunton was told there was a fourth videotape that was not
erased, he said he thought that was ''interesting.''

Mr. Staunton said he felt he had to act to use physical force to restrain RlS #15, because
the clinical staff did not eugage him euough to extract him from the roof.

Allegation 3:
Therapeutic Community Coordinator (Tee) Octavia Baez introduced an illegal
substance, marijuana, into the Florida Civil Commitment Center with intent to distribute.
Findings:
The WEI said that resideuts alleged that TCC Octavio Baez brought marijuana into the

facility. This allegation was referred to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement
(FDLE) on June 15, 2004, pursuant to s. 112.3189 (11), Florida Statutes. The subject,
Octavia Baez, was not interviewed. His employment with FeeC was terminated on
August 9, 2004.

Risk Assessment:
Interviews with staff and residents indicated that problems exist that may effect the safety
and security of resideuls. TA Rodgers (Exhibit I) stated that the majority of staff were
black and that there were racial problems among the staff Ms. Rodgers said Ms. Lane

showed favoritism toward the black employees, many of which are her friends or
relatives. Ms. Rogers stated that training was poor. There was no training for log entries,
no log in the medical department and staff was not trained in Certified Pulmonary
Resuscitation (CPR). Residents confinned that racial tensions exist between staff, and
told of incidents of residents stabbing or beating each other. Residents reported weapons,
drugs and alcohol on the compound and some alleged that staff was engaging in sexual
improprieties with resideuts (Exhibits Q, R and S). A1J these allegations did not directly
relate to this investigation, FCee Executive Director Rick Harry (or designee), was
apprised of the allegations, including contraband being introduced into the facility.

Mr. HatT.Y said that he has established a Crisis Management Committee to review and
address the procedural errors and nllstakes made by the FCCC staff in the incident
involving RlS #15. He said the result was that it was learned that three departments,
Security, Clinical and Medical were too compartmeutalized. As a result, he said his goal
is to create a Team Concept to ensure that all three departments work together,
particularly during crisis situations.

Upon being sworn, WBI verified all the information contained in the written complaint, and
added the following statements:
Allegations 1 and 2:
FSD Tiffany Lane and FSM James Staunton tried to cover up their actions in the
(R/S #15) Incident. WEI alleges that they falsified, altered, destroyed and/or fabricated
evidence. The WBl said they directed employees to change the content of their incident reports,
and when the staff wrote reports. that Ms. Lane and Mr. Staunton did not approve of, the reports
were altered to reflect what they approved.

WB 1 alleged that security tapes docmnenting the RlS
Incident were erased or destroyed. Ms.
Lane claimed the cameras ''were not working:' WE 1 said that Ms. Lane destroyed and erased
tapes in other incidents.
Per the WEI, Ms. Lane conspired with Mr. Staunton to help him cover up the errors that were
made. WEI said Ms. Lane also covered up the inaction of her mother, TA Sylvia Russell. Ms.
Russell was on duty at the gate where RlS #15 gained access to the roof. The WBl states that
Ms. Russell simply watched and did nothing to keep RlS #15 from climbing on the roof. She
stated., "I'm a wom~ I can't do anything." WEI stated that Ms. Lane, who indirectly supervises
her mother, did not discipline or reprimand her.
WE I said that Ms. Lane conspired with other staff in falsifying information and reports that
reflected the inaction and poor management of the decisions made that reflected the safety and
security of the facility. A$ a result of the cover ups by Ms. Lane, residents and staff have been
injured.
Allegation 3:

Mr. Baez was scheduled by management to be searched on Sunday, May 23,2004. \VBI said on
Friday, May 21,2004, the WEI saw Ms. Lane talking to Mr. Booz behind the library for over 20
minutes. The WBI said the location, behind the library, is an out-of-the-way place to speak to· a
staff member. On May 23, 2004, when Mr. Baez was searched, no contraband was found on his
person. WBl believed that Ms. Lane warned Mr. Baez of the impending search.

On June 16,2004, a second Whistle Blower Complainant was added to this case. Upon being
,sworn, WB2 verified the infonnation contained in the WB2 written complaint, and added the
following statements:

Allegation 1:
(RIS #9)(Exhibit
FSD Tiffany Lane destroyed evidence in an incident involving RlS
L). She shredded incident reports that were turned in to her by former FSM Raymond Billiter.

WB2 said the first incident involving Ms. Lane occurred in June 2003. During that time, Ms.
Lane was FSM-I, and Micbelle Allen was Acting FSD. Ms. Lane was supervising the 3 p.m. II p.m. shift, during the absence of FSM William Landers. RlS #9 climbed onto the roof of the

mailroom: Ms. Lari.,e had several opportunities to stop him before he climbed onto the roof, but
failed to act. She allowed RlS #9 to walk freely up and down the compound, threatening staff,
before be climbed up on the roof.
Per the WE2, when :Mr. Landers returned to work the following day, he requested the security
videotape of the incident, in order to evaluate staffs responses to the emergency situation. Upon
Mr. Landers' request, WB2 said Ms. Lane and Ms. Allen removed the tape from the Safety
Control Room, and viewed the tape in a conference room in the Administration Building.
Former employee, FSA Al Davis, observed them viewing the tape. After Ms. Lane and Ms.
Allen departed the facility, Mr. Landers went to the Safety Control Room to view the tape. He
discovered that the tape was missing. FSA Dejuana Williams, who was assigned to work in the
Safety Control Room, reported to Mr. Landers that Ms. Allen had taken the tape and had not
returned it.
Per the WB2, the following day, Mr. Landers asked Ms. Allen for the tape. Sbe stated that she
returned the tape to the Safety Control Room. Mr. Landers advised her that the Safety Control
Room had been searched the night before, and the tape could not be found. Ms. Allen stated,
"Don't wony, it will tum up." The tape was later discovered in the Safety Contrql Room in the
top right hand desk drawer. Mr. Landers viewed the tape, but said it had been recorded over and
was blaok.

Per the WE2, the next day, during a FSM meeting, Mr: Landers was accused by Dr. Robert
Briody, former FCCC Execntive Director, of trying to discredit Ms. Allen. When Mr. Landers
objected to the allegations, Dr. Briody stated that he would fire him if he said another word. Mr.
Landers was inunediately reassigned to the midnight shift. Approximately one year later, Mr.
Landers was reprimanded for not officially reporting the missing tape and his concerns of
unethical behavior on the part afMs. Allen and Ms. Lane.
WE2 stated that the reason Dr. Briody "covered" for Ms. Allen, was that Ms. Allen and Ms. Lane
were best friends, and Dr. Briody and Ms. Lane were "sleeping together." WB2 stated that Ms.
Lane's husband, Fred Lane, called FCCC, and reported to FSA Jose Ventura that he saw Dr.
Briody and Ms. Lane in a hotel room. WE2 stated "that's why she got her job" at FCCC in July
2003. She went from Acting FSM to FSD. She also stated Ms. Lane was not qualified for the
position. Dr. Briody changed the job description criteria, which required a college degree, to
requiring a high school diploma. WB2 said the new criteria was a joke for a Chief of Security,
with responsibility over 400 violent sexual offenders, to have a high school diploma and no prior
management experience.
WB2 stated that Investigator Kenneth Dudding infonned the current Executive Director, Rick
Harry, of Ms. Lane's history. However, WE2 said that Mr. Harry never looked into Ms. Lane's
background to verify that she was not qualified to hold the responsible position of Facility Safety
Director. WB2 said Ms. Lane stated on her employment application that she was a high school
graduate of DeSoto Couuty High School, when she actually had a GED certificate.
The second incident involving Ms. Lane occurred when she shredded an incident report in front
of WE2 and former employee, FSM Raymond Billiter l WE2 said Mr. Billiter attempted to
submit reports of staff misconduct, such as miscounts2 and excessive tardiness. WB2 reported
that Ms. Lane shredded the reports, especially when the reports were written about staff who
were her friends and relatives.
WB2 said it was common for Ms. Lane to say she did not want to be
bothered with any issue that concerned her friends.

Allegation 3
WE2 stated that information, which would stop the flow of illegal drugs onto the compouud, had
been ignored by the administration, even when they were supplied with specific times, dates and
names of staff who bring drugs into the facility. She said the facility is, at present, a "powder
keg," waiting to "blow up."
Additional Information
According to the WB2, Ms. Lane misused her position in the hiring, promoting and disparate
treatment of staff in favor of her relatives and friends. WB2 listed the names of Ms. Lane's
relatives and friends below:

Mr. Billiter could not be located for interview.

WB2 said that special assignments were given to Ms. Lane's friends and relatives. WB2 said

special-assignments were those projects that did not require working a regular post for the entire
shift. WB2 said working a full shift on one post was grueling, interacting with the mentally ill
and violent resident, population.

Ms. Lane's "special assignments" freed her friends from

working those stressful posts.
WB2 said that Ms. Lane and Human Resources Manager (HRM) Tom Murphy "ran the place."
She said :Mr. Murphy conducted special investigations on staff who dared question Ms. Lane.
WB2 stated that anyoue who opposed Ms. Lane and Mr. Murphy were retaliated against. They
were either :fired, demoted, disciplined or moved to demeaning positions. WB2 said the company
hired staff who were felons, who were on criminal probation, or were former employees who
were fired or allowed to resign for cause from DOC. WB2 said Mr. Murphy was aware of their
criminal histories. WB2 said even the residents knew which staff were criminals.

Mr. Harry said until the OIG investigation began on May 26, 2004, he had no prior knowledge of
FSD Tiffany Lane altering, falsifying or fabricating evidence or documents in any internal
investigations. Since then, several volatile incidents had occurred inside the facility, involving
the security staff, which Ms. Lane directed. He was aware that Ms. Lane's mother, TA Sylvia
Russell, and sister, TeC Pamela Ruth, were indirectly supervised by her. He stated it was not an
ideal arrangement.

On August 2, 2004, in a memorandum provided by Mr. Harry, Ms. Lane was reprimanded for (I)
enforcing unapproved practices, that were not part of the FeeC policy and procedure manual, (2)
disparate treatment of residents when enforcing rules, and (3) inconsistencies in staff conduct
during critical incidents. Cited by Mr. Harry were incidents where a resident jumped from the
roof, a resident on resident fight that resulted in a serious stabbing injury, and a resident, while he
was in physical restraints, evading staff and damaging property. The memorandum stated that
should any further incidents occur in which staff did not follow established policy and procedure,
Ms. Lane would "no longer occupy the position of Facility Safety Director."

On August 10, 2004, Ms. Lane's employment was tenrrinated. This action was taken by Mr.
Harry as a direct result of Ms.Lane's decision and actions on August 3, 2004, wherein the safety
and welfare ofllie Feee staff and residents was placed in serious jeopardy. Due to Ms. Lane's
actions in attempting to move several residents from one honsing unit to another, without
sufficient resources to accomplish the move, "'a hostile and rebellious environment was created
which took over 20 hours to diffuse."

Mr. Harry said he had no knowledge of FSM James Staunton altering, falsifying or fabricating
evidence or documents in internal investigations, until the results of an internal investigation, the
R/S
. Incident, revealed :Mr. StaWlton may have altered incident reports. Mr. Harry learned of
the allegation from the FCCC Investigator, Kenneth Dndding.
Allegation 3:
Mr. Harry said he heard rumors of TCC Octavio Baez bringing marijuana into the facility. He
requested that Mr. Booz be searched. On May 23, 2004, Mr. Baez was searched, but no illegal
contraband was found on his person.
Additional Information
Mr. Harry stated that he "had mnch work to do" at FCCC. He was in the process of reviewing
facility policies and procedures (FOP's). He provided a copy of the current FOP manual. As of
July 26,2004, he had reviewed and revised 21 policies, and added five new policies. Those 26
FOP's must be approved by DCF in Tallahassee. They will then be incorporated into the FOP
Manual, distributed to the department heads, who trained staff to implement the policies.
After the

Incident, :Mr. Harry established a Crisis Management Committee. The committee

revised Policy G-25, Critical Incident Response and Debriefing. Policy G-25 addressed
procedural errors and other mistakes made by the FeeC staff. Mr. Harry assessed- the
Incident as a "lack of organization," citing miscommunication among secUrity and clinical staff,
as well as an absence of a clear chain of command. He was unhappy with the actions that were
taken that day, that resulted in serious injury to a resident.
Mr. Harry said his goal was to instill a Team Concept among the three departments - Security',

Clinical and Medical. He stated at present the staff were too compartmentalized. Mr. Harry said
the facility culture in the required change to reflect the nature of the facility'_ He said that the
facility was not a prison, but a secure therapeutic facility.

Mr. Harry provided a written swom statement (Exhibit D-l).

Mr. Vauglm said he had no factual infonnation of FSM Staunton falsifying, altering or
fabricating evidence in internal investigations. Mr. Vaughn was shown an incident report (I/R)
dated April 15,2004, written by Mr. Staunton. There were two markedly different handwtiting

Additional Information
Mr. Vaughn was asked why HRM Mwphy conducted several internal investigatious when FCCC
had an internal investigator, Kenneth Dudding. He said "Mr. Dudding was "not very competent."
?Mr. Vaughn said, for the first time in his career, he did not talk to Mr. Dudding without another
staff member in the room. He said Mr. Dudding seemed to have a personal agenda in conducting
investigations. He said Mr. Dudding's reports had to be corrected, and his reports are
opinionated and incomplete. Mr. Vaughn produced a file, entitled "Ken Dudding." The fIle
contained three memorandwns to Mr. Dudding, dated April 21, April 23 and May 3, 2004,
regarding his job performance. There was also a copy of Mr. Dudding's investigative report on
the
Incident, which was edited and corrected by Mr. Vaughn.
Mr. Vaughn also stated that Mr. Dudding was being questioned about a breach of confidentiality,
because he told "everyone" about an investigation he was conducting. The investigation
involved money changing. I The investigation failed when the target of the investigation, a
resident, became suspicious of Mr. Dudding's involvement. Mr. Vaughn said the money
changing investigation might have succeeded, had it not been common knowledge around the
facility.

Mr. Vaughn said he was aware that some staff had felony criminal histories. However, the
decision was not his to retain or terminate their employment. He said those determinations were
made in the Liberty Behavioral Health Corporate Headquarters in Pennsylvania. He stated the
Physical Plant Manager, Russ Perkins, had an assault charge, and he knew TA Nika Bush was on
probation.
Mr. Vaughn reported that TA Nika Bush was on paid administrative leave for inappropriate
contact with a resident. She was alleged to have engaged in sexual intercourse with RiS
(RIS #16). On August 24, 2004, her employment was terminated.

former eruployee Langevin. When he viewed them in the library, the VHS tapes were blank, and
had nothing on them but" snow." He went to the Security Control Room to view them, but met

learned that Mr. Vaughn had them in his possession. He believed that Ms. Lane reviewed the
reports and possibly changed the ones she did not agree with.
Allegation 2

Mr. Dudding said that he learned during the course afms investigation that FSM James Staunton
changed some of the staff's reports. "When Mr. Dudding interviewed him, Mr. Staunton admitted
he changed the reports, "because he could." Mr. Dudding said Mr. Staunton was very
uncooperative, and laughed about changing the reports, as if the investigation was ajoke.
On Jnne 4, 2004, Mr. Dudding delivered the aforementioned four videotapes filmed during the
Incident to the OIG.

Additional Information
Mr. Dudding said he believed the reason the tapes were erased was to cover up Ms. Lane and Mr.
Staunton's order for security staff to "rush RlS #15" while he was on the roof of the facility". On
at least two prior occasions, RlS #15 climbed onto the roof, but eventually came down
voluntarily. On April 15,2004, RlS #15 told the seenrity staff not to approach him or he wonld
jump. Mr. Stannton ordered the staff to approach him, and RlS #15 jumped off the roof of a
. },fr. Dudding stated the general consensus of
single story building. He sustained
the staffwas that if they waited, RlS #15 would have safely exited the roof of his own volition.
However, :Mr. Staunton and his security staff failed to involve the clinical staff, and pressured
him to jump. When RlS #15 jumped, Mr. Stanntou justified his actions when he said that Ris
#15 was seen eating a nail. Mr. Dudding said:Mr. Staunton revealed this information in a second
interview. They had to remove him from the roof for. his own safety. However, there were no
other witnesses who reported that RlS #15 ate a nail.' Mr. Dudding stated two staff, TA Christy
Villegas and TeC David Scheid, verified that Mr. Stannton made this jnstification.

Mr. Stannton's Incident Report, dated Apri115, 2004, displayed two different handwriting styles.
Mr. Dndding alleged that someone assisted Mr. Stauutou to write it. He said that FSA Christy
Villegas, who witnessed the incident, is reluctant to talk, for fear of reprisal by Ms. Lane and Mr.
Staunton.

RlS #15 reported to Mr. Dudding that $3,500 was placed in his resident canteen acconnt, and he
was forced to sign a company release regarding the April 15, 2004 incident. 4
Each resident dormitory had NO ca.rneras - a revolving, stationary security camera, and a handheld camcorder, used to document incidents, searches and other unusual events. Mr. Dudding

Mr. Dudding said that TA Debra Rodgers, who was on duty in the Medical Unit, told Mr.

September 2002. She has been on light duty since December 2003 due to a work-related
lDJury·
Allegation 1
Ms. Rodgers stated "if there was a cover-up at the facility, FSD Lane was involved." Ms.
Rodgers cited the following incidents involving Ms. Lane:
On April 15, 2004, when RlS #15 jumped off the roof, Ms. Rodgers was working in the Medical
Department. She saw TA Sylvia Russell, Ms. Laue's mother, posted at the F-Dorm gate. Ms.
Russell called for all available staff. RlS #15 climbed from the F-Dorm gate on top of the roof.
Ms. Rodgers said that Ms. Russell did nothing to stop RlS # 15 from accessing the roof. Ms.
Lane did not discipline her mother for her negligence.

Ms. Rodgers said she knew Ms. Lane and FSM James Staunton changed the times and some of
the wording on the incident reports to coincide with one another. She knew they altered the
reports because all staff who wrote reports discussed it. Ms. Rodgers stated there was a cover-up
because "no one did their job." She said Ms. Lane and Mr. Staunton had to cover up the
incompetence of the staff and their lack ofleadership.
Subsequent interview June 18, 2004 by phone (not sworn), Ms. Rodgers stated that she knew
FSD Lane covered up another incident involving RlS #15. She stated that about a month or six
weeks (exact date uukoown) prior to the April15, 2004 incident, when RlS #15 jumped from the
roof, another iucideut occurred. RlS #15 had an argumeut with TCC Javon Dukes. RlS #15 spit
on Mr. Dukes, and Mr. Dukes punched RlS #15 in the face. Ms. Rodgers saw the incident and
wrote an' Incident Report (I/R) and turned it in to Ms. Lane'. Ms. Rodgers said she and FSA
Larry Avant overheard Ms. Lane say to Mr. Dukes, "You got your ass in hot water. I can't keep
covering for you. You better straighten it up."

Upon being sworn, William Landers stated he was first employed at FCCC in January 2001, as
an FSA. In April 2001, he was promoted to FSM, and in November 2003, he requested a
demotion to TCC. His request was granted and he has worked in that position until present date.
He supervised the Resident's Computer Laboratory.

knowledge to corroborate the specific charge. He said Ms. Lane is very unprofessional,
unqualified for her position as FSD, and that she has misused her position in a number of ways.
Allegation 2
Mr. Landers did not provide information regarding the allegation against FSM James Staunton.
Allegation 3
Mr. Landers stated it was common knowledge that marijuana was brought into the facility by
employees, but the administration had not addressed the issue. He provided no information
concerning the allegation against TCe Octavio Baez.

Additional Information
Mr. Landers said that in November 2003, he was the FSM, the shift supervisor. He was ordered
by Ms. Lane to change his staffing pattel11$ to accommodate the needs ofFSA Twanda Cooper, a
personal friend of Ms. Lane. He refused to comply with the unethical request. He asked for a
voluntary demotion and his request was immediately granted by Ms. Lane. He also asked for
personal time off on that shift, and he was allowed to leave. After he departed the facility, a
memorandum from Ms. Lane was placed at the Gate Control Station, I denying Mr. Landers
access into the facility. When:Mr. Landers reported for work, and access was denied, he
contacted Ms. Lane, and was told he "was a threat to the security of the facility." Mr. Landers
said Ms. Lane was unable to identify the nature of the threat. On the following Monday, in a
meeting between Dr. Briody, Mr. Vaughn, Ms. Lane and himself, Mr. Landers was accused of
being hostile, argumentative and insubordinate toward Ms. Lane. He said Ms. Lane alleged that

Murphy, the HRM. Mr. Landers stated that due to the body language of Ms. Lane and Dr.
Briody, he was certain he was going to be fired when Mr. Murphy returned. Mr. Landers was
asked why Mr. Murphy's return was important iu firing biro, and he stated that "they don't make
a move here without Murphy."

Health Corp. in PelU1sylvania, and explained the situation to her. He was assured the problem
would be resolved. After 13 days, Mr. Landers was allowed. to return to work. He was offered a
newly created position. He was asked to supervise the computer lab and the library as a Tee.
By offering him a promotion, he felt that his complaint to the corporate office was considered by
bis superiors to be justified.
In March 2004, Mr. Landers requested to view his personnel file, and discovered a letter of

discipline for insubordination during the November 2003 incident. The letter was not initiated or
signed by his supervisor, Tiffany Lane. It was signed by HRM Thomas Murphy. Mr. Landers

supposedly initiated by Mr. S. Pirrozi, a former FSD. Mr. Landers showed Mr. Pirrozi a copy of
the letter, and was informed that Mr. Pirrozi had never seen the letter.

easily obtained on the compOlmd, and that employees bring them in for sale to the residents.

directly involved him, he stated Ms. Lane perpetuated a daily culture where safety and security
are absent. He said the facts of incidents are purposely distorted on reports. He said there was
malfeasance on a "middle management level he has never seen" in an institution. He said the

a riot had the residents not controlled the situation.

RlS #3 said of particular interest to him was the medical malfeasance. He reported that the
nurses sleep on the night shift, and it was difficult to get specialized medical care for residents.
He said the nurses are not qualified to triage. Most are LPNs, and he had seen some that were
unable to take vital signs. He had seen improvement on occasion, whenever family members or

someone was going to get seriously hurt or killed. He said there had been stabbings, beatings,
and a race war between the black and Hispanic residents. He said the staff were unable to
recognize or handle the daily violence. He said the staff were scared, lacked operational

leadership, and ignored reports of safety and security issues. He said the Executive Director,
Rick Harry, was a "good man," and had initiated many positive changes, but the middle
management was "no better than the residents." He said the staff were untrained, and were not
background screened for criminal violations.
He stated there were no restrictions at night. The residents were pennitted to enter and exit their

some staff sleep inside fue units, which minimized security. He said TCC Darby Ellis, TCC

disgrace" how unsafe the facility was.
He said Ms. Lane did not do her job because she was afraid of the residents. He said on July 22,
2004, during one volatile incident, she ran from fue yard back to the Administration Building.
He said it is common for the shift supervisors, the FSMs, to retreat to their office, leaving
subordinate staff to handle critical incidents. He said Ms. Lane showed favoritism to certain

Upon being sworn, James Staunton said he had been employed at FCCC since May 1999. He
was a TA, an FSA, and was promoted to FSM in January 2003. He stated he scheduled duty
posts for all· TAs and TCCs lUlder his supervision. He supervised approximately 40 staff per
shift. He reported to FSD Tiffany Lane.

Mr. Stauntou described the facility as a treatmeut facility for Sexually Violeut Predators (SVP).
He said. the facility was secure, sU!TO\U1ded by razor wire, and movement by residents was
controlled.

Allegation 1

Mr. StalUlton said he could provide no infonnation regarding allegations against FSD Tiffany
Lane.
Allegation 2

Mr. Staunton admitted that, on April 15, 2004, he changed the times on the RlS #15 mcideut
reports subntitted by TA Joseph Santos and TA Debra Rodgers. He said he was aware that he
altered official documents. He said that neither Mr. Santos nor Ms. Rodgers were advised that
he changed their reports. He said they did not give him pennission to alter their reports. Mr.
StalUlton said he changed the times "so everything would coincide." He said the times were
different than the times on the official emergency log in the Safety Control Office. He denied
changing the content of any employee's reports. He stated he did not place his initials next to the
changes, but simply wrote over the original times. He said he was now aware that any changes
made must be initialed.

Mr. Staunton indicated that if other incident reports were inspected, "you might see changes on
them," He said he often instructed the staff to re-write their reports, because they do not write
good reports, and many of the facts are left out.
Allegation 3
Mr. Staunton said the staff all knew drugs were brought into the facility. He said FSM Mosley
told him that drugs were brought into D-Donn. Mr. Staunton said it was strange that no searches
were conducted in D-Donn. He stated that the employees are searched periodically, but that the

procedure was "a joke." He said the employees are tipped off before a search can be performed.
The Human Resources Manager Tom Murphy conducted the random selection of the employees
to be searched. By the time the FSM was notified of the search, the identity of the employee to
be searched was !:Down to many people. The selection was made days before the actual search
was conducted. He said the procedure was not effective.
Additional Information

Mr. Staunton related thefollowing about his role in the RJS #15 Incident on April 15, 2004.

RJS #15 had been at FCCC for a long time, and had a history of
, includillg
. Previously, he

Mr. Staunton was the FSM in charge on April 15, 2004. Initially, Ms. Rodgers told Mr. Staunton
that Psychiatrist Dr. Robert Bellino ordered RJS #15 placed on 1:1 statns. Mr. Staunton said he
was aware that 1;1 meant that the resident is a danger to himself and must be constantly
monitored. RlS #15 was not escorted from the Medical Unit back to his dorm. Mr. Staunton
relayed a message to TA Santos, by radio, to keep RfS #15 on the dorm. Mr. Staunton said he
did not advise TA Santos that #15 was on a 1:1 status. Mr. Staunton saw Ms. Lane, who advised
him ofRJS #15's 1:1 statns. Mr. Staunton said he went to the Clinical Department to look for
Dr.-Tara Travia to verify the status.

J\.1r. Staunton said approximately five minutes passed, from the time Ms. Rogers told him 'Of the
restricted status, until he called TA Santos. When he was advised that, according to the log hook
records, 28 minutes had elapsed, not five minutes,:Mr. Staunton said "that might be accurate."

:Mr. Staunton said the clinical staff was eating lunch. He saw Dr. Travia. He advised her of the
siroation. Then he heard TA Sylvia Russell call over the radio, ''We got RlS #15 on the roof."
Mr. Staunton ran out of the door. He said he ran to the gate, and saw RlS #15 on the walkway of
the roof. He began to clear the yard and sent the residents back to their dorms. He remembered
that TA Santos, Dr.Travia, Nurse Gordon, Nurse Campbell, Dr. Bellino, Dr. Lipscomb and Ms.

Haase were present at the scene.
Mr. Staunton said he saw RlS #15 cursing at Dr. Bellino, but the doctor was talking calmly to
him. Mr. Staunton said that he observed RfS #15 pick np an object. Mr. Staunton called for an

Extraction Ki~ 1 becauseRfS #15 was near the razor wire. He said he also saw RfS #15 flicking
his lighter, as though to light his shirt on fire. Mr. Staunton said RfS #15 was agitated and was
cursing. He said, however, RiS #15 walked steadily across the roof, and did not appear to be a
threat to anyone other than himself.

Mr. Staunton told TA Billeter to get a ladder. He ordered TCC Baez, Billeter, Florence and TA
Santos to go up on ilie roof and restrain RlS #15. As his staff approached RlS #15, he said to
"get them back," or he would jump. As the staff kept going towards RlS #15, he moved toward
the edge of the roof, and jumped. Mr. Staunton said he was not smprised that RlS #15 jumped.
He said he did not hesitate to order ilie staff to restrain RlS #15.

After RlS #15 jumped off ilie roof, Mr. Staunton said ilie security staff handcuffed him. "He
didn't display any combative behavior." The medical staff assessed his injuries, called for an
ambulance, and RlS #15 was transported to the hospital.

.Mr. Staunton stated that he hoped the staff videotaped the incident. He did not mow there were
two hand-held camcorders and two stationary cameras taping the incident. He said be thought
that was "interesting." When asked ifhe saw the videotapes, he replied that he had not, and was
not curious about revievving them. :Mr. Staunton said he did not view the incident as critical. He
was advised that only one out of four tapes survived to show the events of the incident. He said
he did not find that unusual. He said heclid not erase or tape over any tapes. He stated that Ms.
Lane had custody of the tapes.
He said there was an FSM meeting after the incident Mr. Hany, Mr. Robert Vaughn, Assistant
D.irector, Dr. Moore, the medical staff, and HRM Thomas Murphy were in attendance. Mr.,

StalIDton stated they discussed the events of the incident and steps for improvement.
IvIr. Staunton said there was no emergency manual for critical incidents. He said there should be
a protocol when a doctor placed a resident on 1: 1 status. Mr. StaUIiton said Dr. Bellino should
have notified the FSM ofRiS #15's restrictive status. Mr. Staunton said he could have ensured
that RfS #15 was escorted from the Medical Unit to his dorm, and restricted him to his room.
Mr. Staunton provided a sworn 'Written statement (Exhibit GG-1).

Investigations
MEMORANDUM OF RECORDS REVIEW
Case Nnmber: 2004-0043-WB

Allegations 1 and 2

Mini-Videotape entitled ''Tape 1 Foxtrot."
The tape shows RJS #15 walking on the roof of an FCCC building. He walks up and down, and
sits down, with his legs extended. He appears calm. He is shown lighting and smoking a
cigarette. A voice is heard, apparently a person near the camera, talking about the weather.

About four minutes into the tape, R/S #15 stands up, and appears to be agitated. He moves
toward the edge of the roof, and he is heard talking to (Ms) Lane telling her to have the staff
"back off or I'll jump." The caroera then pans the sky.
A split second later, the camera shows R/S #15 face down on the ground, moaning. He is being
handcuffed by FSM Jaroes StaWlton. Ms. Lane looks on, and other staff surroWld him.

Incident report

At approximately 18:30m on June 4,2004., FSA Smith requested to speak
with me. As he entered the FSM's office he began to complain to me about
bis post assignment. He stated to me " I'm tired of your power play, you're
trying to get back at me". I stated to FSA Smith in the presence ofFSW
Carlucci that I didn't have a clue as to what he was referring too.
I also informed FSA Smith that ifthere were a problem we needed to
wait until Monday 6-'(-04, and have FSD Lane and Mr. Murphy present.
FSA Smith insisted that we needed to resolve this matter now.
FSA SnJi.th was very adamant that he was not to work an assigned post
Per a conversation with him and FSD Lane.
.
I explained to FSA Smith that the duties ofaFSA peer the policy G-15
Page I, paragraph 12 that states( The FSA will be supervised by the Facility
Safety Manager who is responsible for the delegation of assignments
throughout the shift.). FSA Smith continued to rant and rave that he was
not gomg to work an assigned post because he was an FSW.·He stated to
me "if you don't change my post assignme:ilt(food service) you will be short
of two staff'. (referring to bimself and FSA CliD.e.)
.
I then explained to Mr. Smith that the position of FSM Interim was to
relieve. the position of the FSM when the FSM is on PTO or unable to
perform his or her duties for what ever reasons.
He then accused me of creating a hostile working environment.
I then question him on how was I creating a hostile'working environment?
He then stated to me "now you're playiJig dumb".
Noticmg Mi. Smith's agitated demeanor, I S"J.ggested again to him to wait
until Monday to discuss this issue with the FSD and Human Resource.
Manager.
He again stated to me "that's your problem, you and your
power play. If you don't change my assignment we areleaviJig".
I then asked hiin we he worked food service and chapel before there
====Was=LiD1-.JLRwblem what.pmID]lt.iJJiLRe then stated to me" I worked
. Chapel as a courtesy ". I stated to him that this issue was not mabrig
Any sense. The assignment to food senice was only an hour and a half
And that he was still on the yard. He then turned an walked out of the office.

•

A short time later I received a call from the gate control staff to inf= that
Page20f2

FSA's s; smith and C.Cline had indeed departed the facility without
authority. Tills was clearly derelict of duties <l1ld insubordination.

.This is in direct violation ofthe companies policy listed in the employees
Manual pages 28 and 29, sub-paragraph 9 under the title of unacceptable
activities.
Forward to FSD Lane for review.
Copy ofwitness statement attached.
Note: Fsa Smith has worked chapel and food sernce on numerous
occasions without hesitation. When he's assigned to food sernce
Mr. Smith always volunteer to work chapel.
