Another Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputy has been arrested for allegedly misusing confidential law enforcement databases for personal reasons.

Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced Thursday that Deputy Robert Scott resigned Wednesday and was arrested after an investigation revealed he allegedly accessed law enforcement databases more than 100 times to track his estranged wife, her boyfriend, and others.

This is the third similar case involving a Pinellas deputy this year.

In a significant development involving one of the earlier cases, the State Attorney’s Office filed a Notice of No Information on October 30, declining to prosecute former Deputy Karl Gwynne, who was accused of searching a woman’s records 381 times.

Prosecutors stated that current Florida statutes do not address the reported wrongful conduct and indicated they would seek legislative changes during the next session.

The decision raises questions about how existing laws may affect the latest case.
