Donald "DD" Jones

Donald “DD” Jones

Yet another mystery candidate has joined the Democrat race to be the next Broward Sheriff. Donald “DD Jones of Coral Springs filed his campaign paperwork to be Broward’s top cop even though he’s not currently in law enforcement. According to the State of Florida, Jones is no longer certified to be a police officer. However, the State says Jones has a current cosmetologist license.

When contacted by REDBROWARD, Jones was less than eager to talk about his campaign. Jones admitted he was not currently serving in law enforcement. He said his law enforcement resume includes stints as a Texas corrections officer, a member of the Pompano Beach road patrol and a corrections officer with BSO.

State records show Jones worked as a BSO corrections officer from 1987 to 1989. The State said it was a “voluntary separation (not involving misconduct).”

More recently, State business records show Jones owned a Lauderhill cigar company as well as a home inspection business.

Jones is the latest mystery candidate challenging Broward Sheriff Scott Israel. REDBROWARD has documented the bizarre campaign of Edison Jules.

Shandrell Latrice Roscoe, a twenty-four year old bailiff from Lauderdale Lakes, wants to be the next Broward Clerk Of Courts. Roscoe, a Democrat, is a former track athlete from Stranahan High School. She graduated in 2009.

On her Facebook page, Roscoe promises to bring, “Professionalism, Integrity, Innovative” to the Clerk’s office. Last month, REDBROWARD reported Howard Forman, the current Clerk of Courts, had slashed salaries, fired new hires and closed the foreclosure help desk in response to State budget cuts. His wife Brenda Forman, Elizabeth McHugh and Rubin Young previously filed campaign paperwork for the position.

In an interview with REDBROWARD, Roscoe said Broward voters should not be concerned with her age. “Age is just a number,” she said. “Better question is ‘What am I capable of doing?'” Roscoe said received her Masters Degree in Criminal Justice from Florida Atlantic University. She is currently employed with Broward Sheriff’s Office as a courtroom bailiff.

Roscoe said her first-hand observations of the Clerk’s office in action motivated her run for office. Roscoe said she’s a problem solver who wants to make a big change for the average person.
