Florida police investigating incident between GOP tracker and Demings security team

Local Florida police are investigating accusations from a Republican tracker that members of Rep. Val Demings security detail “pushed him to the ground two times” earlier this month after he tried to ask the Democratic Senate-hopeful questions.

The unidentified tracker, who works for the political research firm America Rising, told a deputy with the Brevard County sheriff’s office that he had encountered Demings and her detail numerous times and had never had any issues with them until the Aug. 6 incident. POLITICO obtained the police report through a public records request. The tracker’s identity was redacted from the report.

The tracker told a deputy that since Demings was in the parking lot of a public park, “he felt he had the right to attempt to ask” Demings questions. He tried to approach Demings twice but was “met with physical resistance,” the man told police. The tracker, who recounted his version of events to the deputy at a local McDonald’s after the incident, showed three injuries he claims he suffered during the alleged altercation, including what appeared to be a “new” abrasion on his left side, he told the deputy.
