Fred Piccolo is a former COVID spokesman for Gov. Ron DeSantis and now the former marketing director for Florida’s New College. You may recall that New College is a formerly progressive liberal arts school that DeSantis vowed to transform into a bastion of conservatism. As Susie Madrak reported via the Miami Herald, DeSantis has “overhauled its leadership” by “installing political allies on the board of trustees and appointing former Florida House Speaker Richard Corcoran as president.”
Piccolo is quite an example of conservative values.
ABC’s Mysuncoast.com has the details on Piccolo’s fourth arrest:
According to a probable cause affidavit concerning his latest set of charges, on March 28, a woman was on a walk in the Lakewood Ranch Country Club community when she was approached by a man driving a vehicle. The woman said the man asked her for directions to Bee Ridge Road in Sarasota.
The affidavit says the man, described as in his 40s with a “shaggy” beard, drove off, turned around and nearly blocked her path with his car, asking her to repeat the directions.
