Rick Scott Suspends City of Monticello Mayor

With Executive Order 13-328, Gov. Rick Scott on Thursday suspended Idella Glendora Scott, mayor of the Panhandle city of Monticello.

Mayor Scott, no relation to the governor, turned herself in for arrest Thursday night on one count of forgery, one count of grand theft and one count of uttering a forged instrument.

In August the Florida Department of Law Enforcement began investigating an incident inwhich the mayor, 51, then employed as a deputy clerk in the Jefferson County tax collector's office, allegedly deposited a customer's $697.25 vehicle registration check into her personal bank account.
