The Florida Commission on Ethics has unanimously dismissed an ethics complaint against Sheriff David Morgan.

John Powell, who was defeated by Morgan in the 2012 Republican primary, raised allegations that Morgan used his position as sheriff of obtain a document that was not otherwise public record, and subsequently use the document in a political advertisement.

Meeting Friday morning, the Commission considered Powell’s complaint and Morgan’s response and found that there was no probable cause to support any ethics violation by Morgan, according to a press release issued by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
