Cop from Flordia part of the KKK

                Today I am making my muckraking article on a man named George Hunnewell from Fruitland Park, Florida Police department. He was investigated for being part of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). The article I am using was published on July 17, 2014.   

            George’s investigation of him being part of the KKK was brought upon him when his ex-wife Ann Hunnewell. He and his wife had got a divorce and she had turned him into the FBI. This had gone down along the line down to the chief deputy David Borst.

The investigation on George was in the FBI and then the news had gotten to the police department from an unnamed FBI source. They had received multiple documents on this and all of the documents were extremely blacked out, in the documents they never once had mentioned the FBI. The finding this out at the police department had led to George being fired and a resignation from Borst.

            When Ann had gone and told on George for being part of the KKK, they had record it and had her saying that her and her ex-husband was part of the KKK. When they had joined the KKK in 2008 and that there were no documents that had showed them being part of this operation. She had only received two things from the KKK. They had got an application for the group before they had joined, they also had received one newsletter but she hadn’t saved it. Ann had said the only reason they had joined the group was because of the chief at the time (Mark Isom) had thought that one of the other members the police station was in the group, that member was James Elkins.

            James and his wife (whose name is not mentioned in my article I was using) and the Hunnewell’s had gone out for dinner multiple times. They had become very good friends and after a few months James had asked George if he would like to join the KKK. He said that he did join, but only for “the spirt of the undercover investigation” as he clams, he also said that he didn’t believe in the ideology of the group.

            While Ann was in her interview with the state about the group, they had shown her multiple photos and asked her if she could identify any of the other people there. When she was looking she had recognized one of the men as Georges Chief deputy Borst. She said that she was always a little curious because of the conversations he had always had with James, but she wasn’t 100% sure that those conversations were about the KKK. But she was right that it was Borst. So later Borst was fired from being the Chief, After Borst was fired Isom had become Chief again, but then had resigned because investigators had found out that he had faked all his educational credentials he needed to become chief.

            Later after James had got George to join the KKK, Isom had told James he has one chance to resign from the Police Force in 2009. Later after Borst and George were fired they had refused to speak publicly, so no news outlets could reach them.
