Florida ‘Deputy of the Year’ Used Flock to Stalk Ex, Held Gun in Her Mouth, Did a Nazi Salute

The deputy resigned after an investigation uncovered an alleged history of racism, stalking, and sexual abuse.

Florida ‘Deputy of the Year’ Used Flock to Stalk Ex, Held Gun in Her Mouth, Did a Nazi Salute

Brevard County deputy Michael Fultz resigned following a damning internal investigation that revealed a litany of misconduct. Designated as Deputy of the Year in 2025, Fultz had engaged in extreme acts of sexual misconduct, racist behavior, and abuse. One particularly egregious incident involved using Flock, a tracking app, to spy on his ex-girlfriend.

Photos emerged showing Fultz posing as Adolf Hitler and even holding a gun to her head while having sex. The 43-page report detailed his consistent failure to comply with protocol, including driving with no license tag on his motorcycle and boasting about it for online clout. Despite the overwhelming evidence, Fultz claimed he only used Flock to demonstrate its function and wasn't tracking her.

The Brevard County Sheriff's Office took no action beyond allowing Fultz to resign, despite clear grounds for termination. Fultz's story is part of a troubling trend of law enforcement officers abusing their access to tracking software like Flock.
